Bael fruit, which is also commonly known just as bael, or officially as aegle marmelos, is a fruit thats native to India, but is common throughout Southeast Asia and China. In Thailand youll find dry bael fruit all over the markets, and its boiled and made into a drink - like kind of a cross between a tea and a fruit juice. But its very rare to find fresh bael fruit in Thailand, so when I was at a market and I found some, I had to buy a few and try them out as fresh fruit. Bael fruit has a very hard outer and woody shell, similar to a wood apple or a coconut. In order to open a bael you have to either smash it on the ground, or also you can hit it with the back dull end of a knife. It should eventually come open and youll see an amazing interior. You can eat all of the inside contents of the bael fruit. Some of the soft fruit has an almost caramel taste to it, and then theres also some woody tasting parts as well. Its an amazing fruit with many health benefits. Bael tea is wonderful, but if you ever get a chance to try bael fruit, you should go for it

This fruit is a sacred fruit and both the fruit and leaves are offered during many religious ceremonies. the brownish texture of the flesh indicates that its not fresh and might nit be fit for consumption. it must be sour in taste. the flesh ones thts fit for use should be yellowish in colour. this fruit has one of the highest proportion of soluble fibre and a very good remedy for complex stomach ailments like IBS. one of the legendary ayurvedic claims abt its usage is tht if its consumed everyday for 3 to 4 months it removes any body odour, bad breath and removes all toxins from the blood.

We have this plant at our home in Rajasthan, India. Please don't eat seeds. Bael has sweet taste. That bael looks little old fruits because it looks yellow when freshly ripped and starts turning into blackish color after 30 - 45 days of ripping. Man you are perfect at controlling emotions and facial expressions because you just ate seeds which are very bitter and seeds are not ment for being eaten. As it is a medicinal plant, its fruit remains fresh for a long time ( 60 days ) after being ripped. Your bael looks old ( 50-55 days.

Thanks for the tree idea. googled it up, and can grow here where I live in Florida. Finding a nursery that has it, well, a I little harder. There is a source of it just outside of Tampa, and do meet the needs of that tree (subtropical/tropical Savanna, well drained soil, dry seasons a must. Too much empty space between the back and forth yards, and want shade. I'm pretty sure the Asians who come to pick my mangos, probably know what it is. LOL

You're right Mark, it has that tingling effect on your tongue. Next time if you pick one, I recommend you make a juice which is how I remember having my bael as a kid. For this, remove all the pulp, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and squash by hand, add about half litre water, stir well and filter using a spoon to press. Refrigerate for a while before enjoying the most refreshing home made juice.

They are found all over in South Asia. Believe me they don't taste good. It's sweet but most of them rot inside the shell. The one he ate is already rotten from inside. It does indeed smell good but the taste is bland. I don't know how he can even eat it. South Asians do not even consume it. I have a whole lot of these growing in my neighborhood trees and no one wants to eat these.

The drink, Nam Matoom is so sweet and good. One can see there are no seeds in the dried slices sold to make the drink. We found a bunch under a tree, cooked after a wild fire. I tried making the drink with the inside of one, but yes, it had that same bitter after taste with the Nine volt battery on the tongue effect like Schezwan Pepper.

This is very common fruit in Bangladesh. But we don't usually eat it raw. We make shake with it. And it's too easy to make, Mix Chilled water, sugar, ice and Bael and blend it. You can mix milk. but not recommended if you like to have the original taste of it. Too good for hot weather. Enjoy. :)

Bael, also known as bilwa is a vital tree in Indian culture which is mostly planted around temples. This tree has many medicinal properties and its juice is commonly drunk for digestive problems including ulcers. It also lowers lipids and is useful in diabetes as it simulates pancreas.

There are two types of bael available in our place. What you got is really cool if you make it drink by mixing it with water and sugar(some of us also use salt. And you must remove the seeds before drink by using sieve or some thing like that.
