Ashwagandha
According to Indian Ayurvedic theory, withania somnifera is also known as ashwagandha. Its active ingredients are not only found in the berry itself, especially also in its roots.

Although ashwagandha originally comes from North Africa, this plant, which grows to a height of around 50 cm, became quite popular in India and in the ancient art of Ayurveda. The fruit stems of ashwagandha are very reminiscent of the bladder cherry, which is also known as physalis.

Its ground seeds are ideal as a vegan cheese substitute and the ground root as an ancient natural Ayurvedic product.
