Sri Lanka is home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, and among them, Gurmar (Gymnema sylvestre) stands out as a powerful herb known for its ability to support blood sugar management. At Silk Foods Ceylon, we take pride in cultivating Gurmar in organic soil using sustainable farming practices. Our plantation is a testament to our commitment to natural health solutions, ethical sourcing, and environmental sustainability.
Why Gurmar? The Ancient “Sugar Destroyer”
Gurmar, meaning “sugar destroyer” in Sanskrit, has been a staple in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Its key bioactive compounds help reduce sugar absorption in the intestines, support healthy blood glucose levels, and promote overall metabolic balance. In addition, Gurmar is known for its benefits in weight management, digestive health, and immune support.
Sustainable Cultivation for Maximum Potency
At Silk Foods Ceylon, we believe in harnessing the power of nature responsibly. Our Gurmar plantation follows organic farming methods, ensuring that every leaf harvested is free from synthetic pesticides and chemicals. By cultivating in nutrient-rich, organic soil, we preserve the herb’s natural potency and ensure higher concentrations of active compounds.
