Kokum [Premium] [Dry]

Premium Dry Kokum (Amsul) is made from carefully selected kokum fruit that is naturally sun-dried to preserve its rich color, tangy flavor, and natural aroma. Widely used in Maharashtrian, Goan, and Konkani cuisine, kokum adds a refreshing sour taste to curries, dals, and beverages.

Kokum is hygienically processed and naturally dried, with no artificial additives, making it a great ingredient for traditional dishes such as solkadhi, seafood curries, and vegetable gravies. It is also known for its cooling properties and digestive benefits.
