We have a starry bodhi tree with a beautiful color


Starry bodhi tree is a nut from a tree found on Hainan Island in China.
The reason it is called "starry moon" is because of the appearance of the starry bodhi tree's fruit, which is covered with countless spots.
Among the countless spots, there is one large spot.

This large spot is a mark made when the fruit is picked from the stem, and it remains as a deeper and larger spot than the others.
The countless small spots represent the "stars" in the night sky, and the large spot represents the "moon".
For this reason, the white fruit with black spots is called starry bodhi tree.

It is also said that the starry bodhi tree represents the world of Buddha.
This comes from the fact that the starry bodhi tree's fruit is likened to the stars and moon in the night sky,
and it has long been believed that the starry bodhi tree's fruit represents the universe, and that the universe is the world of Buddha.

We have prepared high-quality berries that are dark in color (not yellowish) among the starry-eyed linden trees.
