Description
Garcinia is a tropical fruit that grows in Southeast Asia and India. The fruit rinds are dark brown and wrinkled, and they are commonly used in traditional medicine and as a dietary supplement for weight loss. Garcinia cambogia is high in hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which is believed to help block the body’s ability to store fat and suppress appetite. The fruit is also used in culinary applications and can be found in dishes such as curries and chutneys.
