Karaunda- Karaunda is a tropical and sub-tropical plant. I do not know any English word for this vegetable. It is very commonly grown in India and comes in abundance in the summers. Karaunda is a good source of Iron and it is also rich in vitamin C. A variety of delicacies are made out of karaunda.
