The fruit commonly known as water apple is actually the rose apple, scientifically named Syzygium jambos.
This tropical fruit is native to Southeast Asia and has a crisp, juicy texture with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Its name comes from its high water content, which gives it a refreshing taste.
Water apples are typically round or oval-shaped, with a smooth, thin skin that can range in color from green to red. The flesh is white or pale pink and contains numerous small, black seeds.
They are a popular snack and are often used in salads, desserts, and juices.
