Benefits of Kokam: The Superfood from the Coast

Benefits of Kokam: The Superfood from the Coast

🌴 What is Kokam?

Kokam, a small purple fruit native to the Konkan coast of India, has been a well-kept secret of coastal kitchens and Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. With its tangy flavor and cooling properties, kokam is now gaining recognition as a superfood beyond the Western Ghats.

At The House of Konkan, we bring this vibrant fruit to your kitchen in its most authentic forms—Kokam Sharbat, dried kokam petals, and more.

 

 7 Incredible Health Benefits of Kokam

1. Natural Body Cooler

Kokam has natural cooling properties, making it ideal for tropical climates. A glass of Kokam Sharbat is not just refreshing—it also helps regulate body heat during hot summers.

2.  Rich in Antioxidants

Kokam is packed with anthocyanins and garcinol—powerful antioxidants that protect your body from oxidative stress and inflammation.

3. Heart-Friendly

Studies show that kokam helps lower cholesterol and supports heart health, thanks to its healthy compounds and low-fat profile.

4.  Improves Digestion

In traditional medicine, kokam is used to relieve acidity, indigestion, and bloating. Add a few petals to dals or curries—or sip on Sol Kadhi after meals.


5. Good for Skin

The garcinol in kokam has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, helping fight acne and skin infections. Kokam butter (derived from its seeds) is also a natural moisturizer.

6.  Appetite Booster

Kokam is known to stimulate appetite and is often served before meals in the form of sherbet or kadhi.

7. ❌ No Caffeine, No Preservatives

When made naturally—like our House of Konkan Kokam Sharbat—it’s free from caffeine, artificial sweeteners, or preservatives. Just pure refreshment.
