About this product
TKM Foods – Dried Kokum
Dried kokum is a deep purple to black fruit rind derived from the Garcinia indica tree, native to the western coastal regions of India. Known for its tangy, sour flavour with a slight fruity undertone, dried kokum is traditionally used as a natural souring agent. It imparts a rich, deep colour and distinctive taste to a variety of dishes and is a preferred alternative to tamarind in many regional recipes. Dried kokum is used to balance flavours, enhance sourness, and add a deep red hue to dishes. Often added whole or as a soaked extract.
