Hello vangappa, In this post, you are going to learn about the “Top 10 Munthiri Palam benefits”. Many of them know about “munthiri paruppu” or “Cashew nuts”, which are high in protein and have good fats. But most of them don’t know that munthiri palam contains more nutrients than munthiri paruppu. This fruit is mostly grown in the southern region of India. In Tamil Nadu, this plant is mostly cultivated in the districts of Ariyallur, Kadalur, and Pudukkottai.

The other name of this fruit is “Kollam Palam” and “Munthiri Apple.” However, we all use munthiri parrupu (Cashew nuts), but we don’t use munthiri palam (Cashew fruit). Also, this fruit is cheaper than munthiri parrupu. Most of them don’t like its taste because it causes throat itching. The reason is that munthiri palam contains a high amount of tannin that causes a small throat itch. But, when compared to its benefits, it’s an amazing fruit.

All of you know orange; it’s my favorite too. The munthiri palam contains five times more vitamin C than an orange. It’s a powerful antioxidant that protects our body from bacterial inflammation. If you feel throat itching, then keep munthiri palam in salt water for 20 minutes. Then, it doesn’t cause any itching while eating. Let’s see the complete benefits of munthiri palam.
