About Bael fruit
Bael is a hard-shelled fruit with a fragrant pulp, eaten fresh or used to make drinks and preserves. The intact fruit has a tough, woody outer shell; inside, the pulp surrounds seeds and may range from firm to soft depending on ripeness.
The pulp is aromatic and sweet-tart, with a soft, sometimes fibrous texture. Bael is also sold as dried pulp, powder, or prepared beverage; these are not interchangeable with fresh fruit, since drying and added ingredients alter its texture and flavour.
