In recent years the tribal people have started cultivating Kapok buds(Marathi moggu) in portions of uncultivable tribal lands and this has served to significantly reduce their dependence on forests for livelihood. USES Kapok Buds or Marathi Moggu, best described as a type of caper, are the dried buds of the Kapok tree or the Silk Cotton tree. It is called moggu in Kannada and mogga in Telugu which literally means a bud. Moggu is a spice used in some of Karnataka’s cherished dishes such as Bisi Bele Bath, Saagu, Kannadiga style kootus to name a few.
