Famous worldwide, with the name of Asparagus, Kurilo (it is called ‘Kurilo’ in Nepali and for my convenience I will use that name, my apology to the foreign readers, throughout this post) is not a new plant in Nepal. It is a subtropical plant that can be found easily in the forests of the Hilly and Terai regions of Nepal. Our fathers and grandfathers generations were well aware about the benefits and utility of Kurilo. They used to collect the shoots of Kurilos for consuming them as vegetable from the forests. (I am jealous that they didn’t even have to cultivate and grow it in their farms!) Similarly, they used its root as a medicine notably for animals like cows and buffaloes. Therefore, it is a popular plant for it great nutritional and medicinal value.
