This fruit, also known as the Wood Apple, is native to India but can also be found in Southeast Asia. It is considered as a sacred tree for Hindu's due to its medicinal benefits stemming back to 2000BC and its ability to grow in places that other trees cannot. Bael Fruit has a hard woody shell that can only be cracked using a machete or hammer. It takes about 11 months to ripen on the tree and can grow to the size of a grapefruit How To Use Bael Fruit You can find dried bael in local Asian groceries, in particular Thai and Indian grocers. They're inexpensive ranging from $4 - $6 for a good-sized bag. Health food stores and vitamin shops carry bael fruit essential oils and extracts.
