I visited a small town where very few Kokum food is served. I want to share with you about it as it is very rare in India to find people who still use and eat kokam food.
I was lucky to drink Kokum soda and also eat fruits.
What is Kokum?
Kokum is the fruit of a tree indigenous to the tropical rain forests of the South Indian Western Ghats, a large portion of which is Konkan.
Where it discovered from?
Thousands of years back, the people of India first discovered it in Mumbai and then used this beautiful ornamental fruit tree for an array of needs and wants. Kokum has always been integral to these people and used in the historic practice of Ayurvedic medicine.
What it Look and Taste like?
It has dark red colour and a pleasant, tangy-sweet taste. The seeds of the fruit have a white coloured fleshy coating on it. When the fruit is ripe, it's colour becomes a little transparent.
AREA- Alibagh, Mumbai
