Phalsa Fruit Live plant (Grewia asiatica)

Grewia asiatica, also referred to as phalsa or falsa, is a type of flowering plant belonging to the Malvaceae family of mallows. Buddhist experts transported it from Varanasi, India, where it was initially discovered, to other Asian nations and the rest of the world.

Grewia asiatica, also known as the Indian Sherbet Berry, Falsa Fruit, Phalsa, Parushaka, etc., is a low-profile yet highly beneficial plant. You’ll want more of its fruit because it has a flavour that is both sweet and tart. It is native to the majority of India and Southeast Asia, and in India, Bombay and Punjab are where it is commercially grown. It is referred to as Parushak in Ayurveda, and its literal meaning is “that which cares for” or “that which fills up.” Grewia Asiatica is a plant with a wide range of therapeutic benefits, including those for the heart, blood pressure, an antibiotic, an antioxidant, etc.
