Ranchi's Traditional Futkal Pickle: A Medicinal Delight for Liver and Digestion

• Futkal pickle, made from a local leafy vegetable, is popular in Ranchi's rural areas and known for its medicinal properties.
• It is considered beneficial for liver problems, gas, indigestion, and bloating.
• The pickle-making process involves sun-drying the high-moisture Futkal leaves for 2-3 days, then mixing with ground spices and pure mustard oil.
• Futkal leaves are sourced from Khunti forests or grown by homemakers, contributing to its higher price due to scarcity and labor.
• The pickle's premium cost is also attributed to 100% pure ingredients, including homemade Kachchi Ghani mustard oil, offering a unique sour, sweet, and spicy flavor.

Why It Matters: Ranchi's Futkal pickle offers unique medicinal benefits and flavor, justifying its higher price due to purity and effort.
