Authors have traversed through the green hilly terrains of Jharkhand to document the wonderful Kand-Mools (roots and tubers) treasure of this region. The Kand-mools are rich in nutrients and have much therapeutic relevance since antiquity, known through various ancient-documentation.

The book contains altogether forty-three specimens with their snaps taken from their original habitats. Their therapeutic information have been procured from local vaidyas. The main objective adhered with this book is to disseminate the information as far as possible. It is worth mentioning here that among the forty-three specimens, thirteen such 'Kand-mools' have been described which though grow in Jharkhand but are not commonly known among the local tribes and have been identified by going through various references so as to create local awareness about these less known edible specimens. The book will be useful to the herbal and ayurveda-practitioners as well as to those associated with academics and scientific researches.
