Luo Han Kuo

[naammanow]

I am looking for the fruit called Luo Han Kuo, or sometimes written Luo Han Guo. Also called monk fruit, or arhat fruit. Looks like a dark brown apple. Extensively used for Chinese medicine and tonic drinks. I see it plenty advertised in Malaysia and Singapore and I know that it is also grown in Thailand. I tried the Chinese clinic/pharmacy near Thapea, no luck! Anybody came across it here in Chiang Mai or know where I might purchase?

Luk taah is what i believe youre looking for.

[Thailand]

The plant's fruit is often called in English language publications luo han guo[4] or luo han kuo (from the Chinese luóhàn guǒ, ). It may also be called la han qua (from Vietnamese la hán quả), arhat fruit, Buddha fruit, monk fruit, or longevity fruit (although this name has been used for several other fruits).[2]

Try Chinese pharmacy at Warorot market, copy Thai name หล่อฮังก๊วย http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siraitia_grosvenorii, then ask them or you can buy from Bangkok 190 baht/ pack + 70 baht for sending, 20 pieces per pack.
