Gundruk

गुन्द्रुक (Fermented Mustard & Radish Leaves)

“Fermented greens — the irreplaceable soul of a Sikkim mountain kitchen.”

Gundruk is Sikkim's most revered traditional food. Mustard and radish leaves harvested before the frost are wilted in the sun, packed tightly into earthen jars, and fermented naturally for weeks in cool mountain air. Once tangy and sour, they are dried completely in the sun. Probiotic-rich, deeply savoury, and protected with a GI tag.
