Product at a Glance

What Is Karanj?

Karanj is a traditional Indian name for Pongamia pinnata. Kew Plants of the World Online currently accepts Pongamia pinnata (L.) Pierre as the botanical name. Older botanical references and trade material may also use Pongamia glabra or Millettia pinnata; Kew currently treats these names as synonyms rather than the accepted species name.

Which Plant Part Is Sold?

This product is natural whole Karanj seed. Ministry of AYUSH e-Charak also records Pongamia pinnata as Karanj with Seed as the relevant plant part. Information about Karanj leaf, root, bark or oil should not automatically be applied to this seed product.

Karañja/Karanj is documented in official Indian traditional-medicine resources.
