Cynometra cauliflora, commonly known as the nam nam fruit, is a tropical fruit plant native to Southeast Asia. It is a small to medium-sized tree that produces fruit directly from its trunk or branches, a phenomenon known as cauliflory.
The nam nam fruit is a round or oval-shaped fruit, about 3-5 cm in diameter, with a thin, smooth, and waxy skin that is usually green or yellowish-green when mature. The flesh is white, juicy, and translucent, with a sweet and tangy flavor that is similar to that of a tart grapefruit. The fruit usually contains a single large seed.
Nam nam fruit is commonly eaten fresh or used to make juices, jams, and desserts. In Southeast Asia, it is often added to savory dishes, such as curries and stews, to provide a sour and fruity flavor. The fruit is also used in traditional medicine to treat various ailments, including diarrhea, fever, and inflammation.
The nam nam fruit tree is a hardy and drought-resistant plant that can grow up to 15 meters tall. It thrives in tropical climates with well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight. The tree is also used in landscaping for its attractive foliage and unique fruiting habit
