FAQs

Is Gongura and Ambadi same?

Yes! Gongura and Ambadi are the same plant, known scientifically as Hibiscus sabdariffa. It’s called Gongura in Telugu and Ambadi in Marathi, while other regions call it Pulicha Keerai (Tamil) and Pitwaa (Hindi). This tangy, nutrient-rich green is a staple in chutneys, dals, and pickles across India!

Is Gongura good for health?

Absolutely! Gongura (Ambadi) is a nutritional powerhouse packed with iron, calcium, antioxidants, and vitamin C. It aids digestion, boosts immunity, and supports heart health. Plus, its natural tangy flavor makes it a delicious addition to dals, chutneys, and curries.

Can I eat raw Gongura leaves?

Yes, you can eat raw Gongura leaves, but be ready for a tangy, sour punch! While they're safe to consume fresh in salads or chutneys, cooking them reduces their sharp acidity and enhances flavor. Light sautéing or blending into dal and pickles is the best way to enjoy their nutritional goodness without overpowering your taste buds!

How long does it take for Gongura seeds to germinate?

Gongura seeds germinate in 5-10 days under warm conditions (20-30°C). For faster sprouting, soak them overnight before starting them in a well-draining medium like Coco Peat. Keep the soil moist but not soggy, place the seeds in a sunny spot, and watch your tangy greens grow in no time! Once the seeds germinate and grow at least two true leaves, transplant them in well-draining soil like Ugaoo's Pot-O-Mix and watch them grow into wonderful plants!

What do we call Ambadi leaves in English?

Ambadi leaves are called Roselle leaves or Red Sorrel leaves in English. They come from the Hibiscus sabdariffa plant and are loved for their tangy, slightly sour taste. These nutrient-rich greens are a staple in Indian cuisine, used in chutneys, dals, and curries for a deliciously zesty kick!
