Exotic Fruits of Thailand
Thailand is home to a large variety of delicious fruits, both seasonal, such as durian, rambutan, mangosteen, longan, lychee etc. and all-year-round, such as papaya, guava, coconut, orange, banana, pineapple, rose apple etc., all of which are as nutritious as they are delicious.
The huge variety of local produce, combined with the culinary art of the Thai people, has resulted in a wealth of ways that Thai fruits can be enjoyed all-year-round.

Simply speaking, Thailand is a real paradise for the fruit lovers. An incredible array and great quality of both the quaint species and long-familiar tropical fruits alike, are handy and meaningly priced all the way around Thailand. A diverse selection of fruits is easily found at numerous fruit shops, supermarkets and market places. Also, lots of street vendors and hucksters sell seasonal fruits on sidewalks, in tourist's spots or right on the beaches. Thai vendors usually retail what is called 'ready to eat' fruit, by hand or with a wooden stick in a plastic bag. Sellers may even invite you to sample some untamed exotic fruit. Undoubtedly, all kinds of Thai fruits, whether these familiar names like melon, apple, banana, mango, grapefruit (some call that citrus pomelo or pummelo), or the newly discovered exotic treats, will pleasantly surprise you. Just keep in mind, many varieties of the same fruit would taste entirely different, so keep sampling the treat whenever and whatever is ready to hand. Aside, it is worthy to point out the so delightful Thai lime or lemon juices, which are widely available in most restaurants, bars and hotels along with the orange, mango, pineapple, banana, papaya, watermelon, mandarin, sugarcane, carrot and many other freshly extracted fruits and vegetables. Needless to mention that the cheapest places to buy fruits are the much popular Thai fruit markets. Still, a golden rule for choosing fruits is – the more expensive, the better! |
