Contraindications and harm to capel
As with the use of any exotic fruit, we must not forget about the dangers of cappel. However, if you do not belong to the categories of people who are categorically prohibited from a product (and these are the traditional categories listed below), then you shouldn't be too afraid.
There may be slight discomfort after using a cap if you:
- Prone to diarrhea … A mild laxative effect can enhance this characteristic of you. But for this you need to eat half a bucket of fruits, which is hardly possible, because this is contrary to common sense and is unlikely to come to your mind.
- Have large kidney and bladder stones … The fruit is not capable of provoking their movement along the ducts, but a feeling of discomfort due to movement in the organ may arise.
- Are at puberty … Because of the contraceptive effect, it is better not to accept the fruit for adolescents, as this can affect the hormonal background of the younger generation. This applies to both young ladies and young men.
- Have problems with blood clotting … The ability of the fruit to slightly thin the blood plays into the hands of those who are prone to thrombosis. But for those who have blood clotting so badly, it is better to limit or completely refuse to eat it. This also applies to women during menstruation, regardless of what kind of blood clotting they have.

How is the Kepelo apple eaten?
How the fruit of the cappel is eaten is best known in his homeland - the island of Java. The islanders use them both raw and cooked. The pulp is very tasty - juicy and sweet, therefore it is used in the preparation of desserts, marmalades, jams and preserves. Also, juice is extracted from it, which is drunk in its pure form or added to refreshing alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. Pies are baked with fruit, ice cream, sorbets, compotes and other dishes are made. Since the fruit is quite allergenic, you need to start eating it with a very small amount and only then gradually increase it. Interestingly, during heat treatment, it loses most of its allergenic properties. Therefore, jam or cocktail with boiled exotic can be eaten and drunk much more than with raw.
Ripe fruit is stored for no more than a week, so for transportation it is picked unripe. It is rare in Russia, but if you manage to buy it, let it lie down for a while in a dark, not cold place for 2-3 days. It will soften, become sweeter and you will definitely like it.
Interesting facts about kepel
Kepelovo apple belongs to rare and endangered plants. On the island of Java, the right to grow a tree for a long time belonged to the family of the Sultan of Jakarta. This was facilitated by the fact that the cappel is considered the most beautiful of tropical fruit and ornamental trees. Today it can be grown everywhere, but the plant is quite difficult to reproduce, because it takes up a lot of space, and the harvest is small - although up to a thousand fruits per season, they are small. And if the year turns out to be a bad harvest (for example, due to excessive rains), then losses cannot be avoided.
Indonesia is a popular sex tourism destination. Therefore, the fruit is highly respected by the priestesses of love, they use it as a contraceptive. However, not all confused people can afford it. As noted above, even in the homeland, caps are an expensive delicacy. This once again strengthens its status as a product for the elite.
The fruit's ability to impart a violet scent to the body is used to seduce men. Among the locals, it is considered a sign of good manners if a man comes on a date after having tasted the fruits of an exotic tree. That is why the fruit gained fame as the fruit of prostitutes and don Juans. Although, in fact, first of all, Indonesians value its taste and are proud of their national product, actively offering it to all tourists. There are not so many recipes with caps in Java, but if you come across them, bring them home and share them with your friends, because they are not known here at all.
