The Panifal Plant, also known as Water Chestnut or Singhara, is a unique aquatic plant grown in shallow water bodies like ponds, tanks, or wetlands. It produces spiky, dark green to black fruits with white, crunchy flesh that’s packed with nutrients and has a mildly sweet, refreshing taste.
Rich in carbohydrates, fiber, and antioxidants, Panifal is widely consumed across India, especially during fasting seasons. The fruit is eaten raw, boiled, or dried and ground into flour. This plant is easy to cultivate in home ponds or controlled water tanks, making it a great option for natural farming and self-sufficient gardening.
