#Summer is here and the #heat brings back #childhood memories of hot afternoons spent at our #farm, scrabbling in the grass and dirt, hunting for #gunj #seeds or #devilseyes as we called them. Who knew then how toxic and deadly these #seeds were. We played with them as kids and traded them with classmates, none the wiser and so protected by divine grace! I now #grow them at my #terracefarm in #mumbai, taking care to #harvest the seeds immediately and keep them away from my pets! Still used in traditional #Siddhi #medicine, they are treated by experts before administering to patients. Another #funfact is that these #rosarypea seeds were used as #goldmeasures in #ancient times :-) #urbanfarm #terracegarden #nedicinalplants #abrusprecatorius #dangerousseeds #ayurveda #unani #homeopathy #mandysfarm #mumbaifarmer
