Meikthrubi Manna- Picture

Meikthrubi Manna is one of the important ingredients used in making "Tharoi- Thongba", the leaves gives a distinct smell when crushed or fried and it is also used in making bora. It can be dried and stored for later use,.The Meikthrubi tree is not very  big, it also has small thorns and one needs to be careful while plucking the leaves, its sold in bunch in local markets. I've not seen it being sold or grown anywhere else other then Manipur.
