Ice Apple / Tadgola

Ice apples or tadgolas are available across coastal regions of India during summer. The fleshy and juicy fruit of the sugar palm tree is probably the only thing you need to eat on a hot sunny summer afternoon. It is translucent and pale white in colour and resembles a lychee in texture. The fruit is called tadgola in Marathi and Hindi, Nungu is Tamil and Taati Munjali in Telugu.
