What is Lokaat in English? I've heard of it, or seen it in desi stores in the US, definitely.

If u have temporary breakouts, try clearasil. For herbal, use a tumeric and sandalwood solution, multani mitti or rub besan on your face. It helps alleviate the acne atleast for a short while.

Is lokaat karela? If so, u definitely get that here. If it's a mango.. nah, mexican mangoes suck.

Lokaat is actually spelled Loquat and is called the same in English. It has it's origins in China. It is available in most ethnic grocery stores. In Chicago it is available at World Food Market on Devon.

Loquat fruits, growing in clusters, are oval, rounded or pear-shaped, 1 to 2 inches long with a smooth or downy, yellow or orange, sometimes red-blushed skin. The succulent, tangy flesh is white, yellow or orange and sweet to subacid or acid, depending on the cultivar.

I dont think u,ll find lokaat in America, But if ur facing some serious acne problem, ask someone to send u multani matti from pakistan. Girl i m telling u it does wonder for all the pimples and stuff. Try cucumber its good too.

funguy · February 10, 2003, 7:34pm

Irem, when you ask for that multani mitti, can you please have them send some Hafiz Jee Ka Halwa for me too?. I dont have any pimples and really wana eat Multani halwa with cold milk during the World cup matches. I did that ritual in 1992 and we won the cup.
