Gac Fruit isn’t found in Thailand easily. I first tasted Gac Fruit juice at a local market in Trat province and have never seen it before or since. The fruit is readily found in Vietnam where they make a powdered concentrate, skin oil and juice.
My Thai family tell me the buds and sprouts are eaten with chili paste or curry and like the juice it has a bitter-sweet taste.
We are growing our own so we have a consistent supply of this strange, healthy fruit throughout the season.
