Q1. What is Phool’s Plantable Mithai?
Sustainability is the basis of our ethos. Keeping this in mind, we wanted to recreate festive staples- traditional sweets in this case, in an eco-friendly manner. Our plantable mithais resemble traditional sweets and contain germinating seeds in a fertile layer, ready to be planted. All four mithais contain different seeds and fertile coatings conducive to the growth of the seeds.

Neem Coated Plantable Laddoo: This plantable mithai contains sunflower seeds in a coat of neem, along with nutritional Red Amaranthus seeds.
Rose Coated Plantable Laddoo: Containing the seeds of Indian Laburnum- a beautiful flowering tree, and purslane in a rose petal-based coating, this plantable laddoo will be a joy to watch as it grows, year after year.
Coffee Coated Plantable Laddoo: Embedded in this coffee-coated plantable laddoo are the seeds of Gulmohar- a tree bearing orange-red flowers and Amaranthus.
Neem Sawdust Coated Plantable Laddoo: This plantable mithai contains spinach seeds embedded in a nutrient-rich neem and sawdust layer.
