Kokum is a popular and a graceful tropical tree that grows mainly in the Konkan, Malabar and Kanara region of Western India. Kokum is scientifically known as Garcinia Indica or also called as Amsool or Sol. The Kokum tree blooms from November to February and the fruits ripen in April-May. The Kokum fruit (ratamba) looks very similar to the small variety plum and is dark purple color when ripe. The fruits are harvested when ripe and only the rind is preserved by drying in the sun which is the Kokum.

 

Sometimes salt is also rubbed onto the rind to speed up the drying process. Kokum fruit is considered to act as a Cholagogue, and is also used in treatment of skin rashes caused by allergies. Kokum fruit is steeped in sugar syrup to make Amrut-Kokum, and is used to avoid sunstroke. While buying kokum, look for soft, pliable rinds. Good quality kokum is dark purple in color. Another element of kokum is the kokum butter, an excellent emollient and is now used by cosmetics industry for lotions, creams, lip balms and soaps.

 

Kokum butter has fairly high meting point, considered one of the most stable exotic butters (Shea butter, cocoa butter, etc) and hence doesn’t need refrigeration. It is extracted from the kokum seed and is supposed to reduce degeneration of skin cells and restore elasticity. Do make fresh foods daily to satisfy your craving and stay healthy too.
