Langsat (ගඩුගුඩා)

Gaduguda can be canned in sugar syrup or used for preparation of candy and wine. Health wise, these fruits are a good source of phosphorus and vitamin C, but they are also high in natural sugars, so do not consume too many. The bitter seeds can be pounded and mixed with water to make a deworming and ulcer medication. The fruit’s skin is used to treat diarrhea, and in the Philippines the dried skin is burned as a mosquito repellent. The skin, especially of the langsat variety, can be dried and burned as incense.
