Riddhish Herbals brings this rare regional fruit into a convenient, ready-to-serve drink with a naturally vibrant red-purple colour and a distinctive fruity taste. A refreshing food beverage — not a medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"rh-byline\"\u003eSelected \u0026amp; reviewed by Dr. Riddhish Padiya — B.Pharm (Ayurveda), M.Pharm (Pharmacognosy), Ph.D. (Dravyaguna), ITRA Jamnagar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSaurashtra's Rare Red Cactus Fruit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the thorny green pads of the \u003cem\u003eHathlo Thor\u003c\/em\u003e cactus, hidden behind spines, grows a deep red-purple fruit that Gujarati families have gathered for generations. It goes by many local names — Hathla, Findla, Phindla, Jindwa, Hathla na Dodva, Nagfani — and in English it is simply the prickly pear or cactus fruit. Despite being familiar across Saurashtra, it stays largely unknown outside Gujarat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis beverage is made the honest, small-batch way. The maker — Shreeji Veda Herbals of Jamnagar — genuinely hand-collects ripe Hathla fruits from the Jamnagar and Devbhumi Dwarka region, part of the semi-arid coastal Gulf of Kutch, and prepares the juice at their own premises rather than in a large factory. It is a true Gujarat gruh-udyog (home \/ cottage-scale) preparation, supplied by Riddhish Herbals with a genuine bill. Because it is a natural, small-batch fruit product, slight variation in colour and taste between batches is normal — and a sign of the real thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Colour Is So Vibrant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep red-purple of ripe prickly-pear fruit comes from naturally occurring plant pigments called betalains (chiefly betacyanins) — the same family of pigments that colours beetroot. Because the colour is entirely natural, its shade can vary a little from batch to batch depending on the ripeness and season of the fruit.
