What is the Mahua Tree?
The mahua tree is a fast-growing, evergreen tree found in the lush forests of Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, and other parts of India. It’s often called the “Tree of Life” by Adivasi communities because every part of the tree—flowers, seeds, and leaves—has a purpose. The flower of mahua is especially valued for its sweet taste and nutritional benefits. These creamy, pale-yellow flowers fall naturally from the tree during March and April, collected carefully by tribal families who respect the tree’s sacred status. For generations, the mahua flower has been used in food, medicine, and rituals, making it a cornerstone of tribal culture.
Chhattisgarh Herbals works with over 13.5 lakh cooperative members, including 17,000+ forest dwellers and 6,000+ women-led self-help groups (SHGs), to bring these mahua treasures to your table. By choosing these products, you support sustainable livelihoods and the preservation of Chhattisgarh’s forests.
Why Alcohol-Free Mahua Products?
Many people associate mahua with traditional liquor, but Chhattisgarh Herbals is breaking this taboo by offering alcohol-free mahua products that everyone can enjoy. Unlike the fermented mahua used to make country liquor, Chhattisgarh Herbals processes the mahua flower in its pure, unfermented form to create healthy, family-friendly foods and drinks. The flowers are carefully cleaned, dried, and crafted into products like pickles, laddus, chutneys, squashes, and energy bars without any fermentation or alcohol content. This makes them safe for kids, adults, and anyone looking for natural, wholesome options.
