Water Apple

Nestled within the lush, organic gardens of Sanggraloka, the water apple (Syzygium aqueum) trees thrive, their delicate, bell-shaped fruits hanging like crimson jewels. While its name suggests a close relation, the water apple is not a true apple, but a watery, crisp fruit native to Southeast Asia. In Bali, this fruit, known as jambu air, is a common sight and a delicious part of the local diet.

Beyond its refreshing, subtly sweet taste, the water apple is a nutritional powerhouse. Composed of nearly 90% water, it is an excellent choice for natural hydration, especially in the tropical climate of Ubud. Rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, this fruit helps boost the immune system and promotes healthy, glowing skin. Its high fiber content also aids in digestion, making it a perfect light snack. Our farm-to-table philosophy means you can enjoy these fruits fresh from the tree, experiencing the true taste of the island's bounty.

The water apple is more than just a fruit; it's a symbol of the abundant life that flourishes here. Like many plants in our garden, it's a vital part of the local ecosystem and culture. The sweet aroma of its flowers attracts native bees and butterflies, contributing to the biodiversity that makes Sanggraloka a special place. Enjoy a stroll through our vibrant gardens and taste the goodness of nature, right at your doorstep.
