About Thailand

Guava is definitely not a must-taste fruit in Thailand and other countries of South-East Asia. The only advantage is that it can be met all year round.

The great thing about plum mango is that one doesn’t need to peel it, like one has to do it with mango. But plum mangoes are much smaller.

Sapodilla is another one Thai fruit that resembles potatoes with its unremarkable look. This time “potatoes” have the taste of figs. Be careful with dangerous inedible seeds of sapodilla.

Passion fruit is very delicious big berry and a trip to Thailand gives you a great opportunity to taste it fresh and ripe. The season for passion fruit in Thailand starts in the end of autumn.

Tamarind is definitely not a fruit – these are pieces of very thick jam (that one shouldn’t cook) in a pod. After I’ve tasted tamarind and egg fruit, I’m obsessed with one question: should one bake bread or buy cheese, when they are probably already growing somewhere?

Sepals grow together around every physalis berry forming a kind of a box. A box… bright-colored pellets… No wonder that physalis tastes like multivitamins!

Papaya has 2 stages of ripeness – unripe green fruit are used as a vegetable (f.e. in a salad) and sweet ripe papaya is eaten like a fruit. Botanically papaya fruit are berries, like watermelon.
