In many Indian homes, wellness didn’t come from bottles or labels.
It came from grandmothers’ kitchens, backyard plants, and recipes passed down quietly over generations.
Traditionally used for bone strength, digestion, and joint comfort, Pirandai has long been valued in Siddha and Ayurveda. But in today’s fast-paced life, the question many of us ask is simple:
Should we consume Pirandai fresh like our elders did,or choose Pirandai tablets for convenience?
Let’s explore both, honestly and simply.

What Is Pirandai?
Pirandai (Cissus quadrangularis) is a hardy climbing plant commonly used in South Indian households. Traditionally, it has been included in chutneys, curries, and medicinal preparations.
It is known for supporting:
- Bone and joint health
- Digestion
- Muscle strength
- Recovery after physical strain
Ancient wisdom valued Pirandai not as a “medicine,” but as food with purpose.
Fresh Pirandai: The Traditional Way
How it was used:
Fresh Pirandai stems were:
- Cleaned carefully
- De-thorned (important step!)
- Cooked into curries, thovayals, or kootu
Benefits of fresh Pirandai:
- Closest to its natural form
- Part of traditional food culture
- Combined with other ingredients for balance
Challenges today:
- Not easily available everywhere
- Requires proper cleaning and cooking
- Raw Pirandai can irritate the throat if not processed correctly
- Time-consuming for modern lifestyles
Fresh Pirandai is wonderful, if you have access, time, and knowledge.
