KAFAL || The story of hidden gems || of uttarakhand

#himalayas #uttarakhand #kafal
Myrica esculenta is a tree or large shrub native to the hills of northern India, southern Bhutan and Nepal. Its common names include box myrtle, bayberry and kaphal. Its berries are edible and are consumed locally. It is the state fruit of the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand.
What is Kafal?
Summer might be the season of mangoes for the rest of India, but for the pahadis, summers are synonymous with Kafals. The small berries turn dark red in colour when they ripe and have a sweet, tangy and juicy flavour to them. The hilly regions, especially Nainital, Almora and Ranikhet have the perfect climatic conditions that Kafal requires to grow. Mangoes can never grow in low temperature, whereas Kafals cannot survive in high temperature, making it very difficult to find both the fruits at the same place, at the same time. Thus, Kafal is the ultimate summer fruit for pahadis
