It provides anti inflammatory properties for skin and metabolic health. This is low calorie fruit which aids in weight management, promotes good heart health, contains vitamin C, antioxidants, boosts immunity, good for digestion besides being rich in fiber
Study says that it also helps in managing blood sugar and cholesterol levels. However I make chutney and tangy curry by using this fruit. Making pickle is also on the mind, I shall try yet.
