Kokum (Garcinia indica) Petals
Kokum (Garcinia indica) Petal is the dried petals/rind of a tropical West Indian fruit used widely in Indian coastal cuisines as a souring agent and natural food color; it appears in beverages, chutneys and fish curries. It is traditionally valued for its tart, slightly fruity flavor and deep purple-red color rather than as a bulk ingredient. Nutritionally, Kokum (Garcinia indica) Petal is notable for being very high in fiber (34g per 100g), so small amounts contribute flavor and color with relatively little digestible carbohydrate. It also supplies modest amounts of iron and trace minerals used in regional diets. Besides its culinary role, kokum contains plant polyphenols and other antioxidant compounds that are associated with anti-inflammatory and digestive-supporting properties, which helps explain its traditional use for cooling and soothing drinks and dishes.
