Kuji Thekera Squash (কুজি থেকেৰা) — Traditional Assamese Garcinia Beverage Concentrate

Kuji Thekera belongs to the same family as Bor Thekera and kokum, but where Bor Thekera is sharp and assertive, Kuji Thekera is rounder, milder, and cooling — the kind of sourness that's meant to be sipped, not just cooked with. Through generations, this is what Assamese families have reached for during the hot, humid months: a glass of Kuji Thekera water with a little black salt, taken as much for relief from the heat as for its long-trusted role in easing digestion.

Earthy, mildly tangy, and unmistakably Assamese, this squash brings back the taste of home for anyone who remembers a jar of dried Thekera tucked away in the kitchen.No artificial flavours or colours.
