How to Use Aegle marmelos Powder

The ayurvedic Bael powder can be consumed in many ways; in the powdered or juice form, fresh or dried.

Dried Bael fruit is most commonly used in India and Thailand to make tea. Bael fruit is a seasonal fruit, so many people preserve it by crushing the dried fruit into powder form. The powder can be obtained by many methods. The most common and convenient method is to dry the fruit in the sun or shade and crush it.

Sun-drying and shade drying

Bael fruit pulp is placed evenly on a clean and dry muslin cloth under the sun or shade. The process can take up to three to five days, and the temperature should be between 16-30 degrees (C).

Dried Bilva pulp is then grounded to make powder.

Uses of Bilva Fruit Powder

Bael powder is used in confectionery, supplements, and beverage industries, mainly to produce chocolates, cookies, soft drinks, juices, jams, jellies, candies, and ice-creams.

There are several concoctions made with Bilva fruit powder for the treatment of many health ailments.

Drinking a mixture of a teaspoon of Bilva fruit powder with a glass of lukewarm water provides relief from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), i.e., bloating, cramps, etc. A mixture of Aegle marmelos powder, turmeric, and ghee can also be applied to fractured bones.
