Weaver ants, Oecophylla smaragdina,
💐are abundantly found in Mayurbhanj throughout the year.
💐They make nests with leaves of host trees.
💐“When required, leafy nests of ants are plucked from their host trees and collected in a bucket of water before sorting and separation from leaves and debris. आवश्यकता होने पर, चींटियों के पत्तेदार घोंसलों को उनके मेजबान पेड़ों से तोड़ा जाता है और पत्तियों और मलबे को छांटने और अलग करने से पहले पानी की एक बाल्टी में एकत्र किया जाता है।
💐Larval and adult stages of the ants are preferred and are either eaten raw or turned into ‘chutney’ by mixing them with spicy ingredients,” चींटियों के लार्वा और वयस्क चरणों को प्राथमिकता दी जाती है और उन्हें या तो कच्चा खाया जाता है या उन्हें मसालेदार सामग्री के साथ मिलाकर 'चटनी' में बदल दिया जाता है।
The chutney is prepared
💐by mixing and grinding salt,
💐 ginger,
💐garlic and
💐chilly and is sold by tribal people in rural markets.
“The tribes of Mayurbhanj consume Kai chutney or soup to
💐 get rid of flu,
💐common cold,
💐whooping cough,
💐to increase appetite and
💐enhance eyesight naturally without corrective eye wear and
💐to treat joint pain and
💐stomach diseases,
💐and for the development of a healthy brain and the nervous system,”
“The tribal healers also prepare medicinal oil
💐by dipping the collected Kais in pure mustard oil.
💐After 30 days, this oil is used as baby oil
💐and externally used to cure 1 rheumatism,
2 gout,
