Sundaikkai (Turkey Berry) is usually grown in the backyards of many homes. It has lots of health benefits. Turkey berry increases the production of red blood cells and so it is good for people with anemia. Sundaikkai is good for people with diabetes as it helps to control blood sugar. They also help lower blood pressure, keep cardiovascular diseases away, and can help kidney function.
