Heibi, scientifically known as Vangueria Spinosa, is a treasured wild fruit in Manipur. Once abundant in the city, this fruit-bearing tree has become a rare sight, pushing enthusiasts to explore hills and villages to find it in local markets.

To ripen the fruit, we fashion it into a charming garland using bamboo wreaths, letting it bask in the sun for days until it reaches a delectable state fit for consumption. This fruit holds a rich history, traced back to the times of our grandmothers and grand aunts, who not only relished it as a winter treat but also harnessed its nourishing properties. Their age-old wisdom included using heibi as a winter application to moisturize their hands and legs, leaving a legacy of beauty and tradition.
