Pure Kokum Extract: Kokum Agal
Aazol’s Pure Kokum Extract is the unadulterated concentrate of the Kokum fruit. It is a summer essential in Maharashtrian homes, known for its cooling properties and used to make refreshing drinks like Sol Kadhi and Kokum Sherbet.
Provenance
The evergreen Kokum or Garcinia Indica tree that’s native to the Western Ghats, Konkan and Goa bears a fruit with multiple uses. Kokum Agal, the pure unsweetened juice extracted from it, is added to rassa (curry) and saar (soup), while the rind is sundried and used as tempering in vegetables and for a touch of tanginess to amti (dal). The medicinal powerhouse is packed with vitamins A, B3, C, iron, magnesium and potassium, and makes the perfect all-season hydrating sherbet. Konkan's favourite natural digestive drink, Sol Kadhi, is incomplete without it.
About The Seller
Ruchira Foods was started in 1996 in Chauke village, Malvan, where its founder, Dinanath Gawde, made an unusual choice for a young man from Sindhudurg. Instead of leaving for Mumbai like many others seeking work, he chose to stay back and build something of his own from the abundant gifts of Konkan. Surrounded by cashew & mango orchards, kokum groves and wild jamun trees, he saw the potential of turning local produce into high quality food products that could reach homes far beyond his village.His first venture into the cashew trade did not succeed, but that setback became the beginning of a new journey. Dinanath started a small home based processing unit and began making products rooted in the flavours of his region. With patience, hard work and a belief in the richness of Konkan, he slowly expanded his operations.Today, Ruchira Foods stands as a thriving enterprise close to his home, supporting several women and young people from the community. Dinanath’s story is a reminder of how resilience and vision can transform not just one life but an entire community.
