It is made from the sun-dried rind of the Garcinia indica fruit, a tropical plant native to India. Culinary usesDried kokum imparts a unique sweet and sour flavor, as well as a natural pinkish-purple color, to dishes. Souring agent: It is often used in regional cuisines from coastal India, particularly Maharashtra, Goa, and Kerala, as a tangy alternative to tamarind. Curries and dals: Add a few dried kokum petals to fish, prawn, or vegetarian curries and lentil dals to give them a pleasantly fruity, acidic flavor. Refreshing drinks: Kokum sharbat is a popular summer beverage made from dried kokum. To make it, soak the petals in water, strain the juice, and mix with sugar or jaggery, salt, and spices like cumin or cardamom.

Natural body coolant: It is a potent natural coolant, often consumed in drinks during hot summers to relieve heatstroke, prevent dehydration, and cool the body.

Promotes weight management: It contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA), a compound known to suppress appetite and aid in fat metabolism. Rich in antioxidants: With a high concentration of antioxidants, including garcinol, kokum can help reduce inflammation and combat free radicals.

Boosts immunity: Kokum is rich in Vitamin C and contains anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties that help strengthen the immune system. How to use dried kokumTo extract its flavor and properties, dried kokum rinds usually need to be soaked in water first. For cooking: Add a few pieces of the dried rind directly to your curry or dal while cooking. For a cleaner liquid, you can first soak the rinds in warm water and add the extracted liquid to the dish. For drinks: Soak a few kokum petals in water overnight to make a kokum-infused water. For a more concentrated drink like sharbat, you can boil the kokum with water and sweetener.
