The Rajma of Munsiyari is famous for its taste and quality. It has got the GI tag. Consumers should check the ripening time, soft texture and GI tag to identify the real Rajma.
The Rajma of Munsiyari of Uttarakhand is famous all over the country. Its taste, texture and quality makes it different in the market, but for some time the second Rajma has been sold in the market in the name of Munsiyari, due to which the consumers are buying another Rajma at an expensive price instead of the real Rajma of Munsiyari. In such a situation, it is important that consumers can identify the real Rajma of Munsiyari with some important things.
The first feature of Rajma of Munsiyari of Uttarakhand is that it takes less time than other normal Rajma in ripening. When it is cooked, it becomes extremely soft and soft like ghee. Its taste is also very good and different. If Rajma takes more time when boiling and feels more hard, then understand that it is not a Rajma of Munsiyari.
Harish Soni, a resident of Bageshwar, said that Rajma of Munsiyari has received geographical indication (Geographical Indication-Gi) tag, which gives it uniqueness. This tag proves that this product is born in the Munsiyari region and its quality, production process and tradition is associated with that region. Whenever you buy the Rajma of Munsiyari, then you must check the GI tag or related certificate on the packing.
He said that the Rajma of Munsiyari is usually red in color and of the same size. Its grains are shiny and look smooth in touching. The Rajma, who looks like a very similar Rajma in the market, is sold as the king of Munsiyari, but his texture can be seen in inequality, lightness in color and variation in size.
He further said that in view of the increasing demand in the market, many traders are selling fake rajma in the name of Munsiyari to earn profit. Due to this, not only the consumer is being cheated, but the real growers are also suffering. In such a situation, consumers should be aware and should buy the Rajma of Munsiyari only after examining them in the mentioned methods.
In this way, by adopting a little caution and information, you can taste the real kingdom of Munsiyari and avoid fake products. This will not only save your money but will also enjoy health and taste. This Rajma usually gets around Rs 500 per kg.
