The most well-known summertime fruits include watermelons, mangoes, and wood apples or bael. The fruit, which is often referred to as "bael" in the Northern region of India, is nothing short of a blessing because it is thought to be extremely helpful against sunstroke and other summer-related health problems.
According to the botanical information, the entire wood apple plant is regarded as beneficial to human health. The fruit, which the Hindus revere as sacred, is rich in fiber, vitamins, and other components vital to human health.
Bael, or wood apple, is a native of India, Malaysia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and other Southeast Asian nations. It is also known as Bilva in Sanskrit, Bilva Pazham in Tamil, Bilva or Maredu Phalam in Telugu, and Bengal Quince.
Aegle marmelos, also known as bael, is a medium-sized tree with slender branches and pale brown bark that frequently oozes a tasty gum. Bael leaves are particularly unusual because they are trifoliate, which means that each leaf has between four and twelve pairs of side veins that abut at the margin.
Despite being interchangeable, the term "Wood Apple" should not be mistaken with another fruit of a similar name (Kaitha Bael in Hindi, Velaga Pandu in Telugu, and Vilam Palam in Tamil) that bears the botanical name Limonia acidissima.
The globose Bael fruits have a hard exterior and don't split open even when they are fully ripe. When the fruits are unripe, they have a greenish grey colour and a woody exterior that turns yellow. The fragrant pulp of the ripe fruit contains 10 to 15 seeds that are encased in a sac that is naturally sticky.
Hindu scriptures also place a great deal of religious emphasis on the bael tree. The goodness of this botanical marvel was specifically mentioned in the Rig Veda, and it is also thought to be the home of Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. It is said to be the favourite tree of Lord Maha Shiva. A significant component of Lord Shiva worship is bilva leaves and fruits.
