Thailand Fresh Fruit Companies produce and
export a wide range of exotic tropical fruits such as pineapples,
rambutans, durian and bananas.
Unlike most westerners, Thais often eat fruits before they are fully
ripe and like most Thai cuisine, combine the sweet, sour and savory. A
prime example of this is the famous dish somtam, which is shredded green
papaya pounded in a mortar with chillis, peanuts, lemon juice, fish
sauce (and other ingredients which vary regionally), and eaten with
sticky rice. Most people from the northeast eat this spicy concoction
every day.
Mangos are another fruit that most Thais prefer to eat while still
green, dipping it into a mixture of salt, sugar and chillis. There is an
exception though – mango and sticky rice, which may well be the most
delightful yet simple dessert ever concocted. Sweet, delicate ripe
mangos like the smiles of angels are laid over top of sticky rice and
drizzled with sweetened coconut milk. If you get a chance to try this
one, seize it with both hands – it is gorgeous.
While there are many fruits you may already be familiar with, there are
some exquisite ones that many Westerners have never seen or heard of –
so there are some pleasant surprises in store. |

The more familiar ones on
the list are strawberries (grown in the cool air of the northern
mountains), watermelons (very sweet), grapes, pineapples, papayas,
bananas (in more shapes, colors and sizes than you might have thought
possible), mangos, and coconuts (technically a nut, not a fruit, but it
goes so nicely on a fruit platter).
