About this episode

Hidden in the forests and plateaus of Goa lies a forgotten world of wild seasonal fruits known as Ranmeva. Available during the summer months (March to June), these naturally growing berries—like sweet-tangy Chunna, sour-sweet Kantam, juicy Zamblam (Jamun) —have been part of local life for generations. Foraged from the jungle and sold in simple leaf cones, they reflect a deep connection with nature and sustainable living. In this episode, host Smaruddhi Kerkar takes you on a journey to rediscover these unique wild berries of Goa and the Western Ghats. Today, this tradition is slowly fading due to urbanization and habitat loss, making it important to document and preserve this rich natural heritage. #JungleBookSeries #Ranmeva #Goa #WildBerries #GoaJungle #ForestFood #Foraging #WesternGhats #SustainableLiving #LocalFood #TraditionalKnowledge #NatureLovers #GoaDiaries #IncredibleIndia #EcoLiving #FoodHeritage #WildFood #SummerFruits #ExploreNature #IndianForests #SmaruddhiKerkar #ExploreGoa #GoaNature #EcoTravel #TravelGoa #HiddenGemsOfGoa #NatureLovers #JungleBookGoa #GoaNature #NatureSeries #GoaForests #Biodiversity #NatureExploration #WildGoa #EcoAwareness #NatureAdventure #BiodiversityGoa #EcoTreasure #ExploreGoa #GoaHiddenGems #ConservationMatters #IndianForests #GreenGoa
