Kokum, is a fruit-bearing tree that has culinary, pharmaceutical, and industrial uses. Kokum fruit has a wonderful health benefit of easing your anxiety, calming your mind and uplifting your mood when you are feeling low. Consuming kokum helps increase the level of serotonin in your body; the mood-enhancing hormone which is responsible for making you feel positive and cheerful. Garcinol, the ingredient in it is an anti-bacterial, antiviral and antioxidant agent. When added to food it imparts a pink to purple color and sweet/sour taste. It is a preferred substitute for tamarind in curries and other dishes.
