PATANJALI CHYAWANPRASH PLUS/ HERBAL JAM 1 KG

Description

Patanjali built its business on offering the established Ayurvedic staples at a lower price than the older houses, and chyawanprash is the clearest example of that on this shelf. The dual name on the listing, Chyawanprash Plus and herbal jam, is the company describing the same jar in two registers at once.

It is eaten as any chyawanprash is: a teaspoon in the morning, straight or in warm milk. Recipes differ between makers, so the balance of sour, sweet and spice is not identical to the Dabur jar and people generally have a preference once they have tried both. Dry spoon only, lid on tight, and it will keep at room temperature for months.

How does it compare with the Dabur jar? Same category of preparation at a lower price, with a different house recipe, so the balance of sour and spice differs. Which you prefer is a matter of taste.

Why does the label say herbal jam? It is the company describing the format in plain language alongside the traditional name. It is the same product, not a separate one.

The other brand on this shelf is the Dabur 500 gram jar, and the rest of the ayurvedic shelf sits alongside both. Vegetarian. Keep the jar tightly closed and only ever go in with a dry spoon, because one wet spoon will spoil the whole jar.
