Sara Paruppu, also known as Chironji or Charoli, are small, oval, nut‑like seeds traditionally used in South Indian and North Indian cooking and pooja rituals. These creamy, almond‑flavoured seeds add a rich, nutty taste and gentle crunch to sweets, kheer, payasam, gravies, and festive dishes.
Naturally rich in plant protein, healthy fats, fibre, and essential vitamins and minerals like calcium, iron, and phosphorus, Sara Paruppu is a wholesome addition to everyday cooking. In traditional Ayurveda, chironji is valued for supporting digestion, skin health, and overall vitality when used as part of a balanced diet.
