In the rural areas of Keonthal, especially during winters, Bicchubooti i.e. Bhabhar greens are eaten with great fondness. Eating Bhabhar greens in winter increases the body’s immunity due to which there is no fear of contracting any disease.

While Nettle is used to scare small children in rural areas, Vitamin C and minerals are found in abundance in Bhabhar. The most important thing is that Nettle is not cultivated but it grows automatically in fields, barns, and barren lands. Astrologers believe that in the period of Saturn, wearing the root of Nettle at a special time reduces the wrath of Saturn and the person does not need to wear sapphire etc.
Dayaram Verma, a senior citizen of Peeran village, says that Bichbooti Saag is often prepared at his house in winter because it tastes very tasty with cornbread in winter and its use does not cause cold in the body.
