Anneytulip Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I was in Thailand last month and purchased some great tasting fruit from one of the ladies selling fruit from her cart. It came in a clear cellophane bag and the fruit was an orangey colour, smooth skin, very juicy and had one black seed inside. The fruit looked like a mini mango and the shiny, grreen leaves of the tree were still attached. I have searched the internet but can't find it. Does anyone know what it was?? It's not a longan or sapodilla. I should have taken a photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anneytulip Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Hi Farma, Yes, that's it. Thanks SO MUCH for this info as I have been scouring the internet looking for this. Would you happen to know if these fruit will still be available in Thailand in August or will they be out of season by then?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
