Pick your recipe
Jackfruit
A giant fruit whose maximum weight can reach 40 kg. Enough for a big family or friendly company. You can eat almost anything in this fruit. The pulp is eaten fresh or added to various dishes. Bones are cooked and then fried. The taste is peculiar, so it is better to buy a couple of slices for the sample (for example, in supermarkets).
Durian
A very peculiar fruit, the smell of which at first repels, and even causes disgust for some. But if you turn off the smell and taste the fruit, for many, the taste will seem paradise. A large number of nutrients in the composition of durian makes it also an aphrodisiac. That's just the nastiest smell penetrates everywhere, so it is better not to store it in the room, do not take it on the plane. In many public places there is even an icon prohibiting the eating of this fruit.
Lychee
Very juicy fruit. The shell of the fruit is scaly. She hides the tender flesh. By the way, the homeland of the fruit is China, but if there is no train planned for the Middle Kingdom, then it is best to try it in Thailand.
Longan
Dragon Eye - as many call this fruit. The flesh is somewhat reminiscent of lychee. The peel is light brown; it is very easy to clean the longan.
Mango
It is impossible to imagine Thailand without this fragrant fruit. It is eaten fresh, it is made into chill coils in the heat, and many dishes are prepared with it. Some people like the green fruits better, but the ripe ones are best - yellow with a pink tint. Truly heavenly pleasure.
Mangosteen
The thick peel of red-violet color hides the most tender slices. The taste is saturated with a slight acidity. Be careful, "cutting" the fruit, peel juice is almost impossible to remove.
Rambutan
An unusual fruit, which many call shaggy. That is what he looks like. But you must definitely try it. Red on the outside, white on the inside and a very delicate and tasty fruit.
Of course, this is not the whole list of Thai fruits, but the listed gifts of nature best give an idea of traditional goodies.
