Five reasons why falsas are a great guilt-free snack
Falsas will cure your stomach ache, fight cancer and keep you looking young!
With the sweltering heat, summer also brings with it some truly delicious fruits — and we have to say, falsas are one of our favourites!
Juice them, sprinkle them on your salad or eat them raw, this seasonal fruit can be enjoyed in so many ways.
What's best is that falsas are actually a really nutritious snack. And we don't just mean how it's refreshing in the summer and perfect for getting rid of a heatstroke. We mean it's pretty much a super-food.
Here's why you should obsess over falsas this summer.
1) It's great for your tummy
Falsa juice works as a digestive... with added benefits! According to the Encyclopedia of World Medicinal Plants, it will not only help regulate digestion, but also serves as a great coolant and restores hydration to the body during a stomach flu. That's a double win!
According to botanical experts, stomach pain can be treated by drinking falsa juice (but we recommend you consult a doctor to avoid allergic reactions or similar):
Add 3g roasted carom seeds (ajwain) to 25-30ml falsa juice and stir and warm a bit. Drink to relieve pain.
2) It strengthens your heart
Falsas are said to relieve inflammation, which makes it a good heart tonic.
Here's a recipe, but again this is not a substitute for doctor's advice or medicine!
Add a pinch of rock salt and black pepper to 50ml falsa juice and mix well. You can also add sugar for taste.
3) It can scare away cancer
The fruit is full of antioxidants and is used to reduce cancer risk.
This makes it a great antidote for all the potentially harmful foods we consume.
4) It'll satisfy diabetics' sweet (and sour) tooth
That's right, falsa is no guilty pleasure! It is pure joy for everyone!
According to an article published by the Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, falsa is a low glycemic index food, which means it can be enjoyed by diabetics and patients with cardiovascular diseases.
5) It'll keep you young
Wanna know a secret? If a food is naturally purple it's an antioxidant loaded with anthocyanins.
This chemical helps protect collagen and restores youthful skin. It's also known for purifying the blood which means falsas help in clearing out your skin, so munch away for that healthy glow!

Surprised that Sharifia/Sugar Apple/Custard Apple is not on this list:
Whilst not native to Pakistan, this plant has been growing in Pakistani fruit nurseries since Mr Francis J Mitchell of Mitchell's Farms first decided on its pulp being used in some of their jams and cordials. It has a unique texture but due to its high sugar content should be avoided by those people who have high BMI or are diagnosed as being clinically obese.
Alongside grapefruit, this is one of my favorite fruits if I am honest.

FIGS: NOT FRUIT, Did You Know?
A fig is not just an ordinary fruit, in fact, it's not even a fruit.
Strictly speaking, figs are inverted flowers.
Figs don’t bloom in the same way as other fruit trees like almonds or cherries.
Figs have a very curious history.
First of all, they're technically not a fruit, but an infruity (a set of fruits).
And secondly, they need a slaughtered wasp to breed, an insect that dies inside the fig.
In a nutshell, figs are a kind of inverted flowers that bloom inside this large, dark, red-hued bud we know as figs.
Each flower produces a single nut and a single seed called an "aquarium".
The fig is made up of several branches, which give it this characteristic crunchy texture.
Therefore, when we eat one fig, we are eating hundreds of fruits.
But the most amazing thing, it’s the special pollination process that fig flowers need to reproduce.
They can’t depend on whether, the wind or the bees bring pollen as other fruits, so they need a species known as the fig wasps.
These insects transport their genetic material and allow it to reproduce.
For their part, wasps couldn’t live without figs, as they deposit their larvae inside the fruit.
This relationship is known as symbiosis or mutualism.
Currently, the vast majority of producers of this fruit no longer need the work of wasps.
Most fig varieties for human consumption are part non-genetic.
This means they always bear fruit in the absence of a pollinator.

Raspberry is a very vigorous red fruit whose vines used to grow only in very cold regions, but with modern development, new varieties of this fruit are now producing abundantly in hot regions and are commercially successful.
You can install this vine along the wall even in less space.
