Embrace the culinary heritage of South India with Dry Fruit Hub's Marathi Moggu, also known as Kapok Buds, a prized spice that adds a unique flavor and aroma to traditional dishes like Bisi Bele Bath. Marathi Moggu, derived from the dried buds of the Kapok tree or the Silk Cotton tree, is a staple ingredient in Karnataka's cherished recipes, revered for its distinctive taste and culinary versatility.

Originating from the lush landscapes of Wayanad district, Marathi Moggu extraction has become a vital source of livelihood for the Paniya tribe. In recent years, tribal communities have taken up cultivation of Kapok buds on uncultivated lands, reducing their reliance on forest resources for sustenance.

Marathi Moggu boasts a flavor profile reminiscent of a blend of mustard and black pepper, making it an essential component in dishes like Bisi Bele Bath, Saagu, and various Kannadiga-style kootus. While its name suggests a connection to Maharashtra, Marathi Moggu is native to Karnataka but has found its way into Andhra and Chettinad cuisines, enriching them with its distinctive taste.
