🌿 From Forgotten Vine to Healing Podi – Meet Pirandai from Goodness Farm

Dear Goodness Farm Family,

In a time when superfoods are being flown across continents and ancient grains are being rediscovered with modern names, we at Goodness Farm find deep meaning in returning to what grows around us — our own backyard herbs, ancestral grains, and therapeutic plants long known to our grandmothers.

One such marvel is Pirandai (Cissus quadrangularis), a tough, tangled climber that once quietly hung from fence posts and stone walls across the Indian countryside. While coarse and fibrous in its raw form, Pirandai has a remarkable healing profile — and we’re bringing it back, the Goodness Farm way.

Why Pirandai Deserves a Spot in Your Kitchen:

🔸 Anti-inflammatory & Joint Friendly – thanks to bioactive compounds like flavonoids and triterpenoids
🔸 Supports Bone Health – traditionally used to heal fractures and aid calcium absorption
🔸 Digestive Soother – acts as a gastro-protective, helps relieve acidity and ulcers
🔸 Immunity Booster – rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants

But there’s a challenge: raw Pirandai can irritate the throat and is tough to digest. That’s where traditional knowledge meets food science.

How We Process It:
We take only the tender stalks, remove corner thorns, wash them in salt water, and solar-dry them. They’re then slow-roasted in iron vessels with cold-pressed sesame oil to enhance bioavailability and reduce irritants. We blend it with roasted lentils and native spices to create a balanced, flavourful podi that’s both therapeutic and delicious.

Just mix it with hot rice and ghee — and you’ve got a bowl full of nourishment, tradition, and taste.

Why Choose Our Pirandai Podi?
Because we don’t just believe in food.
We believe in functional food.
Food that nourishes, heals, and connects us back to our soil.
