Brisk sale of ice apples as heat waves persist

Nacharam: The sale of 'munjalu' (ice apples) on the Habsiguda-Nacharam-Mallapur road is going on at a brisk pace. People believe that eating them during the summer season is healthy as it cools the system.

Nutritionists told The Hans India that consumption of ice apples available mostly in April and May gives nutritients/salts (Vitamins A, B, C, iron, zinc, potassium) when a person is tired.

They also help in overcoming weakness and reduces the impact of heat waves. 'Munjalu' are brought from nearby villages and sold by persons as a means of their livelihood.
