Raja Chuna Tube 16 gm
Product details
Raja Chuna is a brand of edible lime (calcium hydroxide) sold in easy-to-use tubes. A staple in South Asian culture, it is most commonly used as an essential ingredient in preparing paan and other mouth fresheners.
Product details
- Ingredients: The paste is made primarily from food-grade lime (calcium hydroxide) and water.
- Form: It is a thick, white paste contained in small, squeezable plastic tubes.
- Packaging: The individual tubes are sealed to maintain freshness, prevent moisture contamination, and ensure mess-free use. They often come in multi-packs.
- Convenience: The tube format allows for precise portioning and controlled dispensing. This prevents wastage and keeps the product fresh for longer by protecting it from air and moisture.
Uses and benefits
- Paan preparation: A tiny amount of Raja Chuna is spread onto a betel leaf, acting as a base coat before other ingredients like areca nut (supari), sweeteners, and flavorings are added.
- Ayurvedic applications: Historically, edible lime mixed with betel leaf was a rich source of calcium. In traditional Ayurvedic practices, it is used in micro-doses for various health benefits, including boosting calcium intake and aiding digestion.
- Culinary purposes: It can be used in other food preparations, such as lime chutneys.
