Fresh Wood Apple
Wood Apple, also known as Bael or Aegle marmelos, holds special significance in some Indian festivals. It is often used in traditional rituals and celebrations due to its cultural and religious significance. Wood Apple is known for its rich nutritional profile, containing essential nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants. It is believed to have numerous health benefits, including aiding digestion, boosting immunity, and promoting overall well-being.
One such festival is the Hindu festival of Maha Shivaratri, which is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Wood Apple is considered to be a sacred fruit associated with Lord Shiva, and it is believed that offering Wood Apple to Lord Shiva during this festival is auspicious and brings blessings. Devotees often prepare a special drink called "Bael Pana" using Wood Apple pulp, which is offered as a sacred offering to Lord Shiva and consumed as prasad (blessed food) during the festival.
In some parts of India, Wood Apple is also used in the festival of Navratri, which is dedicated to the worship of the divine feminine energy. It is believed that offering Wood Apple to the goddess Durga during Navratri brings blessings and protection.
Storage
Use an airtight container: To keep Wood Apple fresh and prevent it from absorbing any odors, store it in an airtight container or a zip-lock bag. This will help to maintain its natural flavor and aroma.
Keep in a cool room temperature: Ideally, Wood Apple should be stored at room temperature, around 15-20°C (59-68°F). Avoid storing it in the refrigerator, as the cold temperature can affect the flavor and texture of the fruit.
