Bael (Aegle marmelos)

For outplanting soon. This is Bael (Aegle marmelos) also known as Wood Apple. Bael is native across the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, and is cultivated throughout Sri Lanka, Tamilnadu, Thailand, and Malesia.



The fruits can be eaten either fresh from trees or after being dried and produced into candy, toffee, pulp powder or nectar. If fresh, the juice is strained and sweetened to make a drink similar to lemonade. It is rich in Vitamin C.



Bael is considered to be one of the sacred trees of Hindus, and thus they are used in Hindu rites. The leaves, bark, roots, fruits, and seeds are used in traditional medicine to treat various illnesses. 😍🌱🌳
