Taste the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spice – just like the old days.
Our Gud Bijora Achaar is made with sun-dried wild lemons (bijora), gently cooked with natural jaggery (gud) and infused with a blend of traditional Indian spices like fennel, cumin, mustard, fenugreek, and hing, all preserved in cold-pressed oil. It’s your childhood on a spoon — bold, tangy, and soothingly sweet.

📖 The Traditional Story Behind Gud Bijora

In Gujarat and parts of western India, Bijora Achaar with Gud was a seasonal ritual, particularly during the winter months. The sharp sourness of wild bijora was softened by gud, and enhanced with a rich blend of whole and ground spices. Families would make this pickle in large batches to enjoy with theplas, bhakri, or simple rice meals throughout the year.

It wasn’t just tasty — it was digestive, warming, and comforting.
