What "Falsa" Called in English ?? (Thanx to Salman for Solving this mystery)

<< < (2/2)

Andy Battaglia:
Falsa is also known as Phalsa. It is not a blueberry or a currant and in fact is a different genus altogether. It is grown in the Himalaya regions. It is rather high in iron but low in vitamin C.

100 grams contains 3.1 mg iron and 22 mg vitamin C.

Canadian_Family:
Phalsa/Falsa is not black currant either.

Fruits are always good source of trace elements and minerals,along with antioxidants,and iron in them is non-heme,so i don't think eating in moderation will cause big issue.
