Sweet Kokum Fruit Live Plants (Garcinia Indica)

Sweet Kokum Fruit, scientifically known as Garcinia Indica, is a tropical summer delight that thrives in the lush landscapes along the Western Ghats of India. This petite, round fruit is characterized by a vibrant red hue when it hangs from the tree. However, as it ripens and dries, its color transforms into a rich and almost blackish deep purple shade. When dried, kokum peels exude an exceptional sourness with a hint of metallic notes and a touch of sweet aroma.

Kokum, apart from its distinct flavor, is a treasure trove of essential nutrients, offering a bounty of vital vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin B3, and vitamin C. It also boasts a mineral-rich profile, with notable quantities of calcium, iron, manganese, potassium, and zinc. Additionally, this fruit contains valuable components like folic acid, ascorbic acid, acetic acid, hydroxy citric acid, and dietary fiber.

Commonly referred to as Sweet Kokum, this botanical marvel, Garcinia Indica, typically begins to bloom and bear fruit in approximately 2 to 3 years from the time of planting. Its cultivation requires a moderate level of maintenance.
