Falsa Fruit

Falsa fruit (Grewia asiatica) is a small, round, purple berry native to South Asia, prized for its sweet-tart flavor and cooling properties. The fruit grows on a shrub or small tree and is typically harvested in late spring to early summer. Rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and minerals, falsa is commonly consumed fresh or made into juice, syrups, and jams. It is known for its digestive and anti-inflammatory benefits. Due to its perishable nature, falsa is often preserved through refrigeration, drying, or processing. Its unique taste and health benefits make it a popular seasonal delicacy in many tropical regions.
