Wood apple sharbat

Wood apple sharbat

The word ‘Wood Apple’ should not be confused with another similar fruit Kaitha.

Kaitha is tough and rough woody skin as bael but bael fruit is a sweet, aromatic fruit, where as kaitha is sour taste and eaten with salt and chilli powder.

These both fruits differ in taste, colour and properties. Bael is good for stomach. This is instant body cooler and an energizer on a sunny day.
