Kokum (Lonavala) – Aadey Foods

Our Lonavala Kokum is sun-dried to perfection, preserving its vibrant color and distinctive fruity-sour flavor. Unlike tamarind or amchur, kokum delivers a cleaner, more refreshing acidity with subtle berry-like undertones. These wrinkled petals transform when soaked—releasing a beautiful magenta hue and tangy essence that’s the soul of coastal Indian cuisine. A staple in Ayurveda for its cooling properties, kokum works equally well in traditional fish curries and modern mocktails.
