Slaked lime / Chuna

Chuna or Slaked Lime is one of the essential ingredients of Tambulam (paan). It imparts the distinct red colour when used with other ingredients of Tambulam such as catechu (katta). Traditionally, the addition of slaked lime provided the necessary calcium for strengthening the bones. The chuna given in the sacred texts was traditionally made of pearl-oyster shells, which we have managed to obtain for you!

So, make sure you have your own stock of this natural pearl-oyster-shell chuna. And enjoy Tambula sevanam with your spouse!
