Description
Fegra is one of the tastiest fruits found growing wild in the mid-Himalayan region. It is on a par with the cultivated figs in taste and flavour, however, size is rather small in this case. Fegra plants are of very common occurrence at places up to 1,550 metres above the sea-level. These trees are rarely found in the forests, but grow around the villages, in wastelands, fields, etc. The fruits are liked very much by the people. They are also offered for sale. This fig is a very juicy fruit. Work should be taken on standardizing the techniques for making various products, such as squash, jam and jelly from this fruit. Dehydration, which is common in the case of cultivated figs, should be tried in this case also.
The raw fruits, along with the new growth, are used as a vegetable by the villagers in the beginning of the spring. They are first boiled and then the water is removed by squeezing. They are then fried and a nice green vegetable is prepared from them.
