Aazol's pure Kokum Extract is the unadulterated concentrate of the Kokum fruit. It is the ideal souring agent and adds a tangy touch to everything from curries and dals to drinks and salads.

Provenance

The evergreen Kokum or Garcinia Indica tree that’s native to the Western Ghats, Konkan and Goa bears a fruit with multiple uses. Kokum Agal, the pure unsweetened juice extracted from it, is added to rassa (curry) and saar (soup), while the rind is sundried and used as tempering in vegetables and for a touch of tanginess to amti (dal). The medicinal powerhouse is packed with vitamins A, B3, C, iron, magnesium and potassium, and makes the perfect all-season hydrating sherbet. Konkan's favourite natural digestive drink, Sol Kadhi, is incomplete without it.
