Borkut Powder – The Forgotten Strength of Indian Jujube (Ber) for Health and Digestion

Borkut Powder – The Forgotten Strength of Indian Jujube (Ber) for Health and Digestion

A powerhouse of nutrients. A symbol of tradition. A gift from the land of Bundelkhand.

In the heart of rural India, before synthetic supplements and instant drinks took over, there existed a powerful, earthy powder that our elders swore by — Borkut Powder, made from Indian Jujube (Ber).

Bundelkhand’s soil has always grown more than just food. It has nurtured remedies, rituals, and raw health. And one of its ancient treasures is this humble yet powerful jujube fruit, dried under the sun, stone-ground into a fine, fragrant powder — what we proudly call Borkut Powder at Organic Matki.

This isn't just a superfood.
This is wisdom in powder form, handcrafted with Purity, Courage, and Tradition.


What is Indian Jujube (Ber)?

Indian Jujube, also known as Ber or Ziziphus mauritiana, is a native Indian fruit known for:

  • Its natural sweetness and tang
  • Its impressive nutritional profile
  • Its use in Ayurveda for gut and immunity health

When sun-dried and ground into Borkut Powder, it becomes a versatile health supplement you can consume daily — just as your ancestors did.


Health Benefits of Borkut Powder (Indian Jujube Powder)

1. Natural Digestive Support

Indian Jujube is rich in dietary fiber and saponins, which help regulate digestion and reduce constipation.
It promotes smoother bowel movements and relieves gas, bloating, and acidity, making it an ideal post-meal companion.


2. Boosts Immunity Naturally

Packed with Vitamin C, antioxidants, and flavonoids, Borkut Powder strengthens your body’s defense against infections. It helps:

  • Fight seasonal colds and coughs
  • Detoxify the blood
  • Increase resistance against fatigue and weakness

This immunity boost doesn’t come from labs — it comes from sun, soil, and tradition.


3. Regulates Blood Sugar Levels

Studies show that jujube has hypoglycemic properties. It helps regulate insulin activity and stabilizes blood sugar levels naturally — making it an excellent food supplement for:

  • Diabetics
  • Pre-diabetics
  • People watching their sugar intake

Organic Matki’s Borkut is made without added sugar or sweeteners, keeping it pure and beneficial.


4. Rich in Iron and Energy-Boosting Minerals

Traditionally given to women post-pregnancy and to growing children, jujube powder is high in:

  • Iron – helps prevent anemia
  • Calcium – strengthens bones
  • Magnesium and Potassium – improve heart health and energy levels

It’s a natural tonic — especially in hot regions like Bundelkhand where dehydration and fatigue are common.


5. Cooling and Soothing in Hot Climates

In Bundelkhand, where summers are harsh, Borkut Powder was mixed in chhachh (buttermilk) or sattu drink for natural cooling.
Its pitta-balancing nature helps reduce body heat, making it a great addition to summer diets.
