Kodampuli (Garcinia cambogia) Live Plant | Authentic Kerala Malabar Tamarind Tree | Medicinal & Culinary Fruit Plant | Weight Management & Digestive Aid

The Kodampuli Plant (Garcinia cambogia), also known as Malabar Tamarind, is a tropical evergreen fruit tree cherished in Kerala households for its culinary, medicinal, and weight management benefits. Native to the Western Ghats, this plant produces beautiful yellow-green fruits that turn deep brown when dried — the famous “Kodampuli”, an essential ingredient in Kerala fish curries.

The fruit’s tangy flavor adds a distinct sourness and aroma to dishes, while its rind is packed with the natural compound Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA), known to support metabolism and manage appetite. In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, Kodampuli has been used for aiding digestion, reducing cholesterol, detoxifying the body, and promoting healthy weight.

A mature Kodampuli tree grows up to 6–12 meters tall, bearing glossy green leaves and small yellow flowers. The fruits are harvested once mature, sun-dried, and stored for year-round use.

Kodampuli thrives beautifully in humid, tropical regions like Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. It prefers shaded or semi-shaded areas, fertile soil, and regular watering. Once planted, it can live and bear fruit for many years, making it a profitable and sustainable choice for both home gardens and organic farms.

Each live plant from Keerthy Biopark is carefully packed in a grow pot, healthy and ready for transplantation. Bring home this traditional Kerala treasure to enjoy its health benefits, culinary flavor, and natural beauty.
