In this third and final episode of Season 5, anchor Vibha Varshney revisits the Khari Baoli market in Delhi to lay her hands on the astounding variety of gond or edible gums available there.
Some gums cool you in summer, others warm you in winter; still others can help with ailments like arthritis. Trees release them as a defence mechanism when injured, and understandably, these gums are full of chemicals that heal.
The funny thing is, while we have our own indigenous varieties and are aware of their benefits, we tend to import these gums, mainly from African countries!
