What is "kokum"?

As you probably saw in my {Regional Cuisine of the Day} June 1st post, I mentioned "kokum". So, now you are probably wondering...what IS this kokum you speak of?
Kokum is a dark, purplish black fruit. With curled edges and a thick, plum-like skin, it resembles a citrus fruit with seeds in different chambers. It has a sweet/sour taste. It is nativeto southern regions of coastal India.
