Nepal's diverse mid-hills and Himalayan foothills are home to a hidden treasury of flavours far removed from commercial supermarkets. In addition to commercial orchards, these pine and oak forests come alive with the arrival of ‘wild gold’—a fleeting harvest of untamed, edible gems, or in this case, wild edible fruits that are also known for their healing properties. The honey-like flavour of golden raspberries and the butter-producing seeds from the chiuri tree are just two examples of the many edible fruits found in these forests, which are interwoven into the cultural and culinary heritage of local communities. These edible fruits are not commonly harvested for sale, but can be found being foraged by hand and sold in bundles of leaves along the mountain routes. These seasonal offerings are natural wilderness experiences that every traveller should experience at least once.from LifeStyle - Latest Lifestyle News, Hot Trends, Celebrity Styles & Events https://ift.tt/WBuKEoa
