The charoli tree is native to the Indian subcontinent, South Central China, and much of Southeast Asia. The charoli tree produces fruit that is edible to humans. The seeds are used as a cooking spice, especially in India. Charoli seeds are also used in the Ayurveda, Unani, and Siddha systems of medicine.
