🥬 Organic Mooli Singra (Mongra) - The Delicate Radish Pods of North India
Crisp, tender, and delightfully peppery 🌱 - Mooli Singra, also known as Mongra (मूली सिंगरा / मोंगरा), is a rare seasonal delicacy made from the young seed pods of the radish plant. Sourced from our certified organic farmer on the Haryana-Rajasthan border, this winter specialty is harvested at peak tenderness for maximum crunch and flavor.
Most people know radish for its white roots, but few have tasted its delicate green pods. Mooli Singra grows after the radish plant flowers. Instead of letting the plant mature fully for seeds, the young pods are harvested when they are slender, juicy, and mildly pungent.
In rural Haryana and Rajasthan, Mongra is cherished as a seasonal treat as:
Our Singra is:
✔️ 100% certified organic
✔️ Harvested young for tenderness
✔️ Naturally grown without chemical sprays
✔️ Sourced directly from a trusted border-region farmer
It carries the clean, earthy sharpness of radish, but in a far more elegant, snackable form.
👉 When extremely fresh, it can even be eaten raw with a pinch of rock salt and lemon 🍋.

⚠️ Consumption Note:

Radish pods were once more commonly eaten than the radish root in certain regions of India. In some villages, Mongra is considered a delicacy superior to the root because of its crunch and concentrated flavor 🌟.
