Description

Woodapple, also known as wood apple, is a unique and cherished fruit from Sri Lanka, renowned for its distinctive taste and multiple health benefits. The fruit is enclosed in a hard, wooden shell, which is the source of its name. When ripe, wood apple emits a strong, sour aroma that can be overpowering but is a telltale sign of its readiness to eat. Despite its pungent smell and the appearance of its flesh, which can seem unappealing, the fruit is highly valued for its delicious flavor, reminiscent of sweet and sour tamarind.

The interior of a wood apple is soft and creamy, filled with seeds and bristles. In Sri Lanka, the flesh is often used to make refreshing beverages like wood apple juice, typically mixed with sugar, or traditional delicacies such as wood apple sherbet and “Divul Kiri,” a delightful dessert.
