Edible gum or Gondh Crystals

What are edible gum crystals?

Dinka, Gond or edible  gum crystals are available in small pieces, clean and white, especially meant for eating after being cooked. Dinkache ladoo are highly nutritious and should be eaten in winters and not in summers as the gum has been known to generate heat in the body. Dinkache ladoo are traditionally given to lactating mothers as they help in the production of milk. The other ingredients in the ladoo help in providing a "punch" of nutrition in a sweet and satisfying way.
