Visakhapatnam: After the Jackfruit wine for the elders, the Girijan Cooperative Corporation (GCC) has now planned to appeal to the youngsters with the Triphala Sharbet.GCC has already launched the Triphala Ras and Triphala churna (powder) one-and-half-year ago. But the bitter taste failed to draw attention. GCC is now planning a sharbet just like its other products Nannari and Bilwa Sharbet, which are most sought-after in the market. The Triphala Sharbet, packed in bottles of 750 ml, would be available in the market in a couple of weeks. "Triphala Ras or powder is bitter in taste and consumed by those above 40 years. It has a lot of health benefits. We wish to target the youth. Now, we are adding some flavours to it by turning it into a sharbet," GCC managing director A Ravi Prakash told TOI.According to one of the officials of GCC, triphala acts as an anti-oxidant and increases digestive power. It would also help avoid constipation. It not only corrects digestion, but also controls the harmful effects of diabetes, blood pressure, improves eyesight, controls unwanted greying and falling of hair, increases haemoglobin percentage in the blood and purifies blood.Triphala sharbet would comprise amla, karakkaya and tanikaya, and also jaljeera, honey, rock salt, added sugar and preservatives. "Triphala Ras or powder can be mixed with water before consumption," one of the senior managers of GCC said. A bottle can serve 10 glasses of the delicious drink.
