What is Woodapple fruit?

This fruit, with the botanical name Limonia acidissima, also known as bael, elephant or monkey fruit, gets its name 'woodapple', translated as 'wooden apple', from its hard shell, which hides a brownish flesh with small white seeds. Woodapple can be eaten raw, but it is most often used to make jam or various drinks.

Benefits of the so-called monkey fruit

• high content of nutrients, vitamins (especially vitamin C), minerals (calcium, phosphorus, iron), tannins and proteins.
• helps normal digestion.
• supports the detoxification processes of the kidneys and liver.

The coconut nectar used to sweeten the jam is harvested using a traditional hand method - pickers climb to the top of a coconut palm tree, where they attach a clay pot to the flower to collect the nectar. The nectar is harvested every 12 hours to keep it as fresh as possible. It is then left to reduce over a low heat. The fruit of the woodapple is collected by the locals either directly in their gardens or in the rainforest.
