If sunshine had a flavor, we imagine it would taste like this — bright, floral, gently sweet, and full of life.
At Paidhu, we’re always on the lookout for forgotten blooms with hidden potential, and one such wonder is the Cassia fistula, lovingly called the Golden Shower flower.
You’ve seen it drape summer trees in cascading yellow blooms — a sign of Tamil New Year, of warmth, of beginnings. But what if this fleeting beauty could be preserved on your shelf and savored all year long?
That’s where our idea of Cassia fistula flower jam began.
A Petal with a Past
Cassia fistula, or Konna poo, has deep roots in traditional medicine. In Siddha and Ayurveda, it’s known for being:
-
Detoxifying and cooling
-
Mildly laxative to ease sluggish digestion
-
Immunity-supportive thanks to its rich polyphenols
It has always been part of temple rituals and seasonal wellness routines — yet rarely celebrated as food. We wanted to change that.
Reimagining Tradition as Taste
Our Cassia fistula jam is a fusion of old-world healing and modern comfort.
We gently blend dried golden shower petals with white pumpkin for body, and sweeten with jaggery for a rustic depth. The result?
-
A glossy, golden preserve that looks like bottled sunshine
-
A delicate floral aroma with honeyed undertones
-
A whisper of warmth and wellness in every spoon
Spread it on toast, swirl into yogurt, fold into cheesecakes, or even stir into herbal teas — it transforms everyday food into something quietly magical.
Why It Matters
In a world of synthetic flavors, bringing native flowers back to our plates is a gentle act of reclaiming our roots. It’s about tasting our seasons, honoring our trees, and showing that wellness can be joyful — and beautiful.
Cassia fistula jam isn’t just a product.
It’s heritage, captured.
It’s self-care, disguised as delight.
From Our Garden to Your Jar
At Paidhu, we dream of a world where flowers aren’t just admired — they’re nourished, preserved, and tasted. And this golden bloom marks just the beginning. https://share.google/7heVb7o3gROkFHljL
