worgeordie Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yes, I know plenty of it occurs on here,but I am looking for the fresh kind,to make jam ,pies or even rhubarb and custard. So has anyone seen any or know where to purchase some, a few months ago I bought some very good rhubarb at Makro Mae Rim,and used to see it in Rimping,but not for quite a while. Also anyone seen any frozen Apricots at any of the Makro's, I only really go to the one on Superhighway and they have not had any for quite a while,I know they have Peaches but they are not very good for jam,but make a nice Chutney.

robertmueller Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 In 2014 we bought fresh rhubarb in/around May. Since then no more seen the fresh ones. Rimping Promenada sells the frozen pack, 1kg. Since 6 months Makro HangDong no more have the frozen apricots (import from USA). We asked the responsible person for the frozen fruit products about the next delivery. But as you can guess the answer was: soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Only place I found fresh rhubarb was at Makro in Pattaya a few months ago, very expensive so didnt buy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chingmai331 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Do not think rhubarb can be grown in T'land due to lack of extended cold period. So all must be imported from northern places which raises prices. But suggest you look around in about 8 weeks as that's when the weather warms up in Korea, no. China, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shepsel Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Doi Kahm (the Royal Project Shop) sells it a few weeks a year during the cool season. I stock up and keep it in the freezer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) I have seen fresh rhubarb in one of the markets in Pattaya but not been looking for awhile as I bought a bag of frozen from Friendship! Edited January 24, 2015 by JohnC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 I even tried to grow some,first with seeds, then i had a friend bring some corms,both failure,its a pity as now have horse stabled not far from the house,as Rhubarb loves horses s$it. I wonder if they grow it in China,thats where it actually came from.but is it grown commercially as they export some very nice vegetables to Thailand,much better and cheaper than Thai grown Veggies,not sure about chemicals though . regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'm pretty sure that peaches are grown here, but the "season" seems to be something like 2 weeks. They are very small but very tasty - just like at home. Too bad they are not around longer every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly, you didn't bother to read his entire post, since he also asked about apricots which are quite similar to peaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quidnunc Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 In America, a favorite dessert is strawberry-rhubarb pie. That's because their harvest partially overlaps. Every year there is rhubarb available from the Royal Project, but as noted above, the harvest is brief. So you have to keep an eye out for it. The rhubarb that was available at Makro came from Australia. I used to get those apricots, too. The problem was that they didn't sell well so I guess Makro 86'd them.

They are very small but very tasty - just like at home. Too bad they are not around longer every year. Actually, there seem to be a few peach seasons here. One comes in the early part of the year. That's for the small local peaches which tend to be a bit bitter but have a strong almond flavor. Probably an old and primitive variety. Later in the year come the delicious sweet peaches. Or at least they can be delicious if they're harvested when ripe. I had some last year and the were great. There's also an extended plum season with smaller, sourer varieties coming first. They make great jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
