Ripe fruits can be eaten but they are very acidic. Just like other garcinia varieties such as [[kokum]] (which is prevalent in the Indian west coast) or [[garcinia pedunculata]], the fruit can be preserved by slicing into thin pieces and then drying under sun. It can be made into pickles. [[Bodo people|Bodos]] cook the unripe fruit as vegetable with fish. A [[chutney]] can be made by boiling the fruit. In [[Assam]], dried and preserved slices are added to black green pulses to make a popular slightly acidic curry. Dried up fruit slices are valued as a traditional remedy for [[dysentery]]. In [[Ayurveda]] the fruits are used in the treatment of dysentery, gastritis, etc. and is said to have anti inflammatory properties.Tamala – Garcinia morella Uses, Dose, Research at http://easyayurveda.com/2015/04/23/tamala-garcinia-morella-uses-dose-research/ When the bark is cut it exudes a yellow resin called [[gamboge]] that is used in food, paints and medicines. It can be used as a rootstock for the [[mangosteen]] (Garcinia mangostana).Useful Tropical Plants: Garcinia morella at http://tropical.theferns.info/viewtropical.php?id=Garcinia+morella |
