6. BaelAegle marmelos 印度枳（拉丁名：Aegle marmelos）
Bael, wood apple or stone apple is a species native to India, but found throughout Southeast Asia. Bael is a smooth fruit with a woody peel that is colored yellow, green or grey. The hard, woody, outer peel is so hard that it has to be cracked with a hammer. Inside is an aromatic yellow pulp with several hairy seeds. The flesh can be eaten either dried or fresh. From the fresh fruit, a juice called sharbat can be made, adding water, sugar and lime juice to the pulp. It takes just one large fruit to make 6 liters of sharbat.
印度枳又稱木蘋果或石蘋果，樹種原產于印度，但現已經遍布整個東南亞。印度枳果皮像木頭，很光滑，顏色有黃色、綠色或灰色；木質的外皮十分堅硬，必須用錘子才能砸開，內部黃色的果肉味道香甜，內含幾粒茸狀態的種子，曬干后或新鮮時均可食用。果實新鮮時，在果肉中加入水、糖和檸檬汁可制成一種名為“舍兒別”的飲料，一個大的印度桔就可以制成6升的“舍兒別”。
