I love how fruits and vegetables can differ in most countries/continents. In my home country we don’t have such an apple and I’ve never tried it, but you are not the first person who says that this particular sort is delicious. Where I live the only more interesting sort of apple that we have is called - Japanese Persimmon. Have you had the chance to try it? I personally am not a huge fan, as it’s not sweet enough for my taste.

Thank you so much for another great post, @MukulR ! :slight_smile:

@KlaudiyaG Thanks for liking the post. No, I do not have the experience of eating Japanese Persimmon ever. In Bangladesh Apple does not grow. We import it from other countries. But we have this wood apple and another one known as “বেল” in Bengali. Wood apple is a bit sour in test whereas বেল is sweet. You can eat a wood-apple with salt and you need nothing to eat the বেল। We also eat green বেল by burning it in hot ashes or by boiling. Hope this information will help you about a particular fruit found in this area of the world.
