Significado
Fruit that does not cost much.
Contexto cultural
In Gujarat, bargaining for 'sastu phal' is a social skill. Even if the price is low, a small discount is expected. Seasonal fruits like Mango or Guava become 'sastu' during peak harvest, leading to large family purchases. Modern grocery apps use 'Sastu' in their marketing to attract budget-conscious middle-class families. In villages, 'sastu phal' often refers to local wild fruits like 'Bor' or 'Gunda' which are free or very cheap.
Check the Season
In Gujarat, 'sastu' always depends on the season. Mangoes are 'sastu' in May, but very 'monghu' in December.
Quality Check
Sometimes 'sastu' can mean the fruit is overripe. Always check for soft spots!
