Bael Candy (Wood Apple Candy) - Ekgaon - 200 g

Bael candy, also called wood apple candy, is made from the pulp of bael fruit (Aegle marmelos). Bael is known as bel or bilva in Hindi, maredu in Telugu, and wood apple or stone apple in English. The fruit has a hard shell and a sweet, aromatic pulp, which is cut into pieces and cooked with sugar to make chewy candy. Bael candy is eaten as a small sweet snack, passed around after meals like other candies and mukhwas, packed in a bag for travel, or served to guests. The seller also suggests eating it with warm water. It has a sweet, fruity taste with the fibrous texture of the bael pulp. This bael candy is sold by Ekgaon Mandla. Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture so the pieces do not become sticky. Available in a 200 g pack.
