Characteristics of Makok (Hog Plum):
- Appearance: The fruit is small to medium-sized, with an oval shape and a yellowish-green to reddish skin when ripe. It has a tough outer skin and a fibrous, juicy flesh inside.
- Taste: The flavor of makok is a mix of sweet and sour, with a tangy, acidic bite that can be quite refreshing. Unripe fruits are more sour and are often used in savory dishes or pickled.
- Uses:
- In Southeast Asian cuisine, makok is used in a variety of ways: fresh in salads, pickled, or even in dips and sauces.
- It can also be eaten raw with chili and salt or used to make beverages.
- The fruit is sometimes used in traditional medicines for its supposed health benefits, particularly in treating digestive issues.
In Thai and Lao cuisine:
- Makok is sometimes used in a popular dish called som tam (papaya salad), adding a tart contrast to the sweet and spicy flavors of the salad.
- It is also used in savory pickles, or even served as a side with fish and meats.
If you're ever in Southeast Asia, it's a fun fruit to try if you like tangy, sour flavors!
