Goli

"Goli," often simply referred to as "goli" or "pachak goli," is a broad term encompassing a variety of traditional Indian digestive candies or tablets. These small, typically round or flattened confections are meticulously crafted from a blend of herbs, spices, and natural ingredients, specifically chosen for their digestive properties. Common types include Anardana Goli (pomegranate seed-based), Jeera Goli (cumin-based), Hing Goli (asafoetida-based), and Imli Candy (tamarind-based), among others. Each variant offers a unique "khatta-meetha" (sweet and sour) or spicy flavor profile, designed to stimulate digestive enzymes, alleviate common issues like gas, acidity, and bloating, and act as a refreshing palate cleanser after meals. Goli digestives are a cherished part of Indian culinary tradition, providing both a flavorful treat and a natural remedy for promoting digestive well-being.
