The fibre part of wood apple is a bit bitter & you must have to avoid the seeds as those have sticky gum. We call it বেল in Bangla, pronunciation like "bell", it makes quite tasty dessert with spice & sugar; also you can make smoothie with water or milk with chia seeds. The pitha you took in another boat is we call it চিতই পিঠা, pronouncing like "CHi-toi pitha", this is infact our local version of pancake by rice flour & salt only. It is mostly taken with green chilli & coriander leaves chutney or with molasses/jaggery.

[@carriepatsalis]

Thanks for the info.. I can see now the difference.. it didn’t taste the same as vapa pitha so makes sense

Wood Apple (Bel) is a fruit with unique taste. It is very beneficial for IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). If a person takes this food regularly, his/her stomach keeps sound.

[@carriepatsalis]

That’s what Amit says.. is it because you don’t want to eat much of it?! 😆

usually the wood apples (kodbel) are not eaten like that, rather the inner fruit is mixed with bit salt and chilli flakes/ pepper to counter that slight bitterness. We call it Kodbel vorta (mashed wood apple). Usually street vendors sell these kodbel vortas a lot.

[@carriepatsalis]

Funnily enough I tried guava with bit salt and it was good.. I reckon this would be the same
