Kokum
Whole pieces of a sour dried mangosteen fruit. Kokum is used in some Southern Indian states in a similar way to tamarind where the sour, fruity and almost salty flavour adds depth and a lift to all the other flavours. The whole pieces of kokum are added during cooking and removed just before serving.

Great concept and excellent service
Too little quantity, bag too small
I ordered a spicebox subscription for a friend but couldn't find how to change the delivery address so after it was ordered I emailed and got an immediate response from a real named person saying they would change the delivery address for me. They did and it arrived.
Buono. Eccellente sulle carni e cacciagione.
Adds a lovely tangy flavour to curries.
Quick delivery and perfectly packed with the added bonus of a free spice sachet to try!
