đ When YouTube Makes Pumpkin Seeds Expensive! Two weeks ago, pumpkin seeds (kaddu ke beej) were selling for Rs. 300 per quarter kilo in the market. Today, I went againâand guess what? The price has jumped to Rs. 700 per quarter kilo! đł Apparently, more and more people have started eating pumpkin seeds because of all the health benefits being promoted online. YouTube videos, social media posts, wellness influencersâyou name it! It made me think: when everyone starts eating the same âhealthyâ food, does it stop being affordable? đ So, in a way, social media may not only influence what we eatâit can also influence what we pay for it. Today itâs pumpkin seeds. Tomorrow, who knows⌠maybe dates, chia seeds, or something else will become the next âsuperfoodâ and suddenly double in price! đ Social media doesnât just create food trendsâit can create demand, and demand can drive prices.
