What is an indian apple?

Question

It is suppose to be red with seeds which are also eaten.

Answer 1

I think you are referring to a pomegranate, it is easily available in the US these days. It's delicious & very healthy!

Answer 2

Here is what I found

A perennial woodland plant of the barberry family, with shield-shaped leaves and a single, waxy, large white, cuplike flower 2 inches across, droops from crotch of leaves; May to June. It has an edible, lemon-yellow, oval (egg shaped) fruit about 2 inches long, called the "apples". These are edible when fully ripe with a flavor reminiscent of strawberry. A popular ornamental, it grows 12-18 inches tall. Leaves may be called umbrella-like, smooth, paired, distinctive. The dark brown, fibrous, jointed rootstock produces a simple, round stem which forks at the top into two petioles, each supporting a large, round, palmately 5-9 lobed, yellowish-green leaf. Some plants, growing from different rootstocks, are non-flowering. These have only a single leaf on an unforked stem.

Indian Apple

Scientific Name: Mayapple
Other Names: American Mandrake, Bajialian, Duck's Foot, Ground Lemon, May Apple, Podophyllin, Podophyllum, Podophyllum peltatum, Raccoon Berry, Umbrella Plant, Wild Lemon Who is this for?

Uses

Note: Mayapple, which is often called American mandrake, is very different from European mandrake. They have very different properties and different uses. They are not interchangeable.

Podophyllum (sometimes called podophyllin) is a resin from mayapple roots and rhizomes. A resin is a sticky substance that comes from plants. Resins, such as pine tree tar, usually burn easily but do not dissolve in water. Rhizomes are fleshy extensions of plant stems that run along or under the ground and often produce shoots and roots for new plants. When it is applied to the skin, podophyllum (mayapple resin) is used mainly to remove warts.

Podophyllum (mayapple resin) is not safe to take by mouth.
