Rose Apple (500g)

In India, rose apple, locally known as “jamun” or “champakka,” thrives in subtropical climates, particularly in regions like Kerala, Karnataka, and Maharashtra. This fruit, resembling a small pear or bell, is cherished for its crisp, juicy flesh and mildly sweet taste with subtle floral notes. Its thin, waxy skin varies from pale green to vibrant red hues. Rose apples are a popular street snack, often served with a sprinkle of salt and chili powder for a tangy kick. They’re also used in refreshing juices, jams, and pickles, embodying the essence of Indian summers with their fragrant, thirst-quenching allure.
