Lessons From A Trip - What Are These?

I've just come back from a long-ish trip - some of the high points were the discovery of the stuff in these photos. I've never seen them in these forms before, can you guess what they are? A very happy Ugadi/new year to all of you!

  24. This is my first time here. Is the mystery revealed yet?:) My guesses are

    1. Betelnut
    2. Fruit of Cashew nut
    3. Kokum or Aam papdi

    ReplyDelete
  25. i used to stay in Goa..and cocum is one of the desired fruit there.. You get juices, syrups, candies of cocum..most tourists buy cocum as a reminder of the place..cashews are equally popular there specially used for the goan fenny
