FLOWERS AS A FOOD.
The Mahua Tree Of India Produces
Blossoms of Extreme Sweetness.

The Mahua Tree Of India Produces
Blossoms Of Extreme Sweetness.
The mahua, malwa. mowha. nova or
mOwra tree of India is a large decidu-
Gus tree throughout the forests of Dek-
kan, Earnatik, west coast. and central
India, and Gujrat. stretching north as
far as Oudh and Kumaun and eastward
across to Orissa. Though found in a
purely wild state in many parts OF In
lia, the value of the flowers and fruit
has caused it to be brought under more
or less cultivation. The economic value
Of the tree lies in it's edible flowers and
oil yielding seeds, although the gum OF
gutta that flows from incisiOns or abra-
sions on the stems shows an average
Of 4S.9 per cent gutta. 8 per cent
resin and 1913 per cent ash. The bark
also is used as a dye. while all the
properties of the tree are used to some
extent incidentally.
The mahua puts forth its leaves from
February to April. Cream colored
flowers appear in great clusters of thir-
ty to fifty near the ends of the branches
from March to April. About the end
of March the flowers begin to arrive at
maturity. and every morning about sun
rise the s%ucculent corolla tubes fall in
great showers to the ground. which has
been cleared of grass and underbrush
and prepared for the harvest. This
continues to the end of April, but usual
ly the fall from Il single tree is COM
plete in ven to ten days. The flow
ers are then spread out and left to dry
in the sun. In a few days they shrink
in size. change in color to Il reddish
brown. and their peculiar sweet dor
becomes more apparent.
These flowers are eaten extensively
while fresh. but. generally speaking.
they are dried thoroughly and cooked
with rice and other grains. Sometimes
they are completely dried and reduced
to Il powder and in this condition are
cooked in round cakes and mixed with
a variety Of fOodstuffs. Mahua is ex-
tremely sweet. and the ability to eat
and digest it must be acquired. Few
Europeans are able to eat more than
one flower on a single occasion without
having disagreeable after effects. Sugar
and mOlasses of a good quality are also
made Of mahua. 1t is estimated that
in the central provinces alone 100000
of the native people use mahua as a
regular article of foOd.-Consular Re
port.
