Wood Apple Barfi

Wood apples are a source of fiber to stimulate the digestive tract, beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the body to help improve skin complexion and protect against vision loss, and vitamin C to boost the immune system while reducing inflammation. The fruits also provide calcium to build strong bones and teeth, manganese to metabolize amino acids, iron to develop the protein hemoglobin for oxygen transport through the bloodstream, and other nutrients, including zinc, thiamine, magnesium, riboflavin, and phosphorus. In Ayurvedic medicine, Wood apples are cooling, purifying fruits believed to help stimulate digestion and cleanse the liver and kidneys. The fruits also have antimicrobial properties to soothe the throat and help heal insect stings or bites.
