Gac or Momordic Cochinchinnensis or Wonder Fruit
This fruit is common in Southeast-Asia and is used both as medicine and food. Research has confirmed that the beta-carotene (vitamin A) in the fruit is highly bioavailable and is even more than in carrots.
Usually people open the fruit and take out the red flesh that sticks on the the coin size seeds. It is actually pretty tasteless, so usually people mix it with rice or juice.
I even bought one and I couldn’t figure it out.
Where can you find these in Vientiane? In what season?
