Its tangy flavor and numerous health benefits have made it a staple in Ayurvedic medicine, where it is used to promote digestion, detoxification, and overall well-being. The whole Kokam fruit is often used in cooking, herbal remedies, and even in skincare due to its rich antioxidant content and therapeutic properties.
