This is a fruit squash made by the SHG members of Chandrapur with naturally ripened fruit named wood apple and popularly known as Bael in Assam. It is globose or slightly pear-shaped with a thick, hard rind and does not split upon ripening. The woody shell is smooth and green, gray until it is fully ripe when it turns yellow Enjoy a delightfully refreshing juicy drink that tastes just like the original fruit with many health benefits. The shell is so hard it must be cracked with a hammer or machete. The fibrous yellow pulp is very aromatic. It has been described as tasting of marmalade and smelling of roses. Boning (2006) indicates that the flavor is "sweet, aromatic and pleasant, although tangy and slightly astringent in some varieties. It resembles a marmalade made, in part, with citrus and, in part, with tamarind."Numerous hairy seeds are encapsulated in a slimy mucilage. It is also a great refreshing drink that can be had on a hot summer day or even when you feel tired. Use this squash to make a refreshing drink by adding some amount of water as per taste.
