Mango cravings are heightened in the summer, but ice apples, which are available in large quantities during the season, are also the epitome of summer pleasure. Locally known as Thati Munjalu, the transparent ice apples are hidden inside hard purple-black or green-colored shells. Depending on the size of the shell, each contains 2 to 4 ice apples. The translucent flesh, which is filled with nutrient-rich water and has a texture akin to delicate coconut meat, is revealed when the outer, light brown coating is peeled off. The water has a nice, sweet flavor.
Ice apple sellers have been doing well in areas like Pisal Banda, Chandrayangutta, Balapur, Kothapet, LB Nagar, Santoshnagar, Vanasthalipuram, Hayathnagar, BN reddy Nagar, and Karmangh via pushcarts or roadside booths. "We use an auto-trolley to transport these fruits from Mall, a village in Yacharam Mandal, and we sell them around the city. Every year, the fruits come in april and are accessible till May, according to Venkatesh, a merchant in Kothapet.

Due to the extreme heat, vendors are seeing extremely strong client demand, which is fueling brisk business around the city. According to Sandeep, another seller at Pisal Banda, "there is a very good response from customers as the rise in the mercury levels has pushed up demand for these nutritious fruits among city dwellers."

Ice apples have several health advantages in addition to their deliciousness. The fruit of the season keeps the body's electrolyte balance in the proper range and functions as a natural cooler. This is in addition to addressing summertime stomach problems and constipation brought on by dehydration during the warmer months.
