Chamaliang, scientifically termed Lepisanthes Fruticosa, is a fruit derived from an evergreen shrub or tree originating in Southeast Asia. This plant features pinnate leaves and produces clusters of small fruits that transition from yellow to red and eventually to black when they ripen. Once fully ripe, these fruits become both edible and pleasantly sweet in flavor.
Moreover, the seeds of Chamaliang are also edible when roasted, and the plant's root is used in the preparation of a compound poultice. This poultice serves the dual purpose of alleviating itching and reducing body temperature during episodes of fever.
Referred to as Luna Nut in common terminology, the botanical name of this fruit is Lepisanthes Fruticosa. Typically, it takes around 3 years for Chamaliang plants to commence blooming and bearing fruit, and they demand a moderate level of maintenance for successful cultivation.
