Karaunda Carandas Plum

Karaunda is a sour, succulent, juicy berry native to India and has been used as a sweet candy (prepared with sugar syrup) for times immemorial. Do you remember the red and green colored jelly candies in sweet buns, or the red 'cherries' used in sweet pan? These are nothing but Karaunda candies. In terms of nutrition, Karaunda is considered to be as good as Amla.
