Bought them once (in 2007) from Manali...they sold it as a medicine for High Blood Pressure....unfortunately couldn't deliver it to the concerned person on time and they stayed with me for almost 3 years but even after that they didn't dry up...after removal of their hard covering they were still juicy though the colour had changed to brownish...from off white...
