Bael, also known as bilwa is a vital tree in Indian culture which is mostly planted around temples. This tree has many medicinal properties and its juice is commonly drunk for digestive problems including ulcers. It also lowers lipids and is useful in diabetes as it simulates pancreas.

@mohosinkhandakar94938 жыл бұрын
There are two types of bael available in our place. What you got is really cool if you make it drink by mixing it with water and sugar(some of us also use salt). And you must remove the seeds before drink by using sieve or some thing like that.

This fruit is a sacred fruit and both the fruit and leaves are offered during many religious ceremonies..the brownish texture of the flesh indicates that its not fresh and might nit be fit for consumption ...it must be sour in taste..the flesh ones thts fit for use should be yellowish in colour..this fruit has one of the highest proportion of soluble fibre and a very good remedy for complex stomach ailments like IBS..one of the legendary ayurvedic claims abt its usage is tht if its consumed everyday for 3 to 4 months it removes any body odour, bad breath and removes all toxins from the blood.

Hi Mark, I've added subtitles to videos "11 Amazing Things To Do in Kuala Lumpur" and "25 Amazing Things To Do in Bangkok". Please confirm it. Here is how to do it. Once users have created and uploaded subtitles/captions and submitted them, it then goes to a dashboard on the channel owner's "review subtitles and cc" section of their channel's "community" settings. (in the top right corner, click on your account, then Creator Studio. In the left-hand panel, click Community > Manage subtitles and CC.) The channel owner can then approve the submitted subtitles/captions from the dashboard. They don't appear on the video unless approved. / Thanks ") btw. your videos are great

You're right Mark, it has that tingling effect on your tongue. Next time if you pick one, I recommend you make a juice which is how I remember having my bael as a kid. For this, remove all the pulp, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and squash by hand, add about half litre water, stir well and filter using a spoon to press. Refrigerate for a while before enjoying the most refreshing home made juice.

Hey Mark, I’m from Sri Lanka. Bael is my favorite fruit. We call it “Beli” in Sri Lanka. The one you had in the video looked too ripped. It gives that brown caramel thing inside when it’s too ripe. A perfect one would be just yellow inside but gooey enough to ease a spoon inside. It will also have a lot of slime in it. I really like to put some sugar in it.

Too much empty space between the back and forth yards, and want shade. I'm pretty sure the Asians who come to pick my mangos, probably know what it is....LOL!
