Do you remember the Ginger candy... :)

I think this post looks like the previous one but cant ignore to write.
It was also part of our culture. When we eat a lot especially non-veg we take some facilators which is also organic and healthy.
The tamil name of this is inji-marappa means ginger candy.
The golden small cubes, it tastes hot and sweet with the sharp aroma of ginger.
It is really good in improving digestion.
You can see this being sold during bus/train stations in India, this is because the tiresome travel and stress pauses our digestion. When you buy this for 25paise or 50 paise or 1 Rupee and eat it, you will get a burp and sleep well in the remaining course of travel. Its really a poor man's paradise. I ask my mom to buy 2 more and eat it when I go home.

But nowadays people nomore buy this organic herbal candy and they are after the useless diary caramel candies.

I went to an organic store in USA and surprised to see this. Its called the organic crystallized ginger candy. This is nothing but the same inji-marappa :)
This is sold for 6$ per pound, approximately 1kg = 600 Rupees.. :)

We are eating junk candies sold by american companies in India, whereas people in america are paying in dollars for the simple and powerful techniques which our elders taught us.
Its a disgrace for our elders.

Each and every bit of our culture is being patented by american business people and sold across. Why don't we open our eyes at-least now.

Everyone knows the importance of digestion, why no one from India has stood up to create quality ginger candies which every Indian would benefit and export the same to other countries boosting our economy ?

We are busy importing hersheys :) to become sick and cause disgrace our traditional knowledge.. :)...
