Aralu


Combretaceae

Terminalia chebula

Myrobalan  E
Aralu                           S  
Chebulic Myrobalan can reach heights of 20 meters. This tree yields smallish, ribbed and nut-like fruits which are picked up when still green and then pickled, boiled with a little added sugar in their own syrup or used in preserves or concotions. The seed of the fruit, which has an elliptical shape, is an abrasive pit enveloped by a fleshy and firm pulp.
