eaten Caralluma fimbriata, which grows wild over various parts of the country.
Caralluma fimbriata is cooked as a vegetable, used in preserves like chutneys

synergistic effect on appetite control and weight loss. In several clinical
trials Slimaluma was shown to be effective in reducing body fat through appetite
control.
