收藏: Kohila Products
Kohila (Lasia spinosa) is a cherished Sri Lankan plant, thriving in wetlands and home gardens. Its tender leaves and rhizomes are staples in local cuisine, featured in curries, stir-fries, and porridge. Rich in dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, iron, and antioxidants like polyphenols and ascorbic acid, kohila supports digestive health, reduces cholesterol, and aids in managing diabetes. Traditionally, it's used to treat hemorrhoids, constipation, and liver ailments. Cultivated year-round, kohila prefers shaded, waterlogged soils. Varieties include kiri, guru, wel, kalu, and goda kohila, each with unique flavors and medicinal properties. Available fresh or as herbal powders, kohila remains integral to Sri Lankan diets and wellness practices.
