Passion fruits not only that it taste amazing but has so many benefits. Some of these benefits include passion fruit’s ability to prevent cancerous growth, enhance digestion power, boost immune function, improve eyesight, improve skin health, regulate fluid balance in the body, lower blood pressure, boost circulation, and improve bone mineral density. Furthermore, it reduces signs of premature aging, lessens inflammation, improves sleeping habits, and eliminates asthma.

Passion fruit is an intriguing and mysterious fruit that has a surprising number of health and medicinal benefits for those fruit lovers who add it to their diet. It's a wonder that i eat 4 or 5 passion fruits a day.

Another of my favorite fruits is Mangoes this particular mango known as Nam Dok Mai Bang Khla named after water flower, has a sweet fragrance is one of the biggest mango in Thailand also known as the King Mango can be up to 2 to 2.5 kilo in weight when fully ripe and cut up to eat you will find for a huge mango like this a very small stone or seed lies in the middle which means there is a lot of juicy mango to be eaten.

that mangosteen looks interesting! wouldn't mind trying one of those

If you ever see one try it's a amazing flavor....like a passion fruit mix with pineapple :)

I’m originally from the Philippines and love mangosteen. It is one of my favorite fruits! Love mangoes and passion fruit too.

Haven’t seen king mangoes before though. I don’t think we have it in the Philippines. Looks interesting. I will tell my son about it since he’s currently in Thailand.

Thanks for sharing!

The King Mango is in season now must try, when left to ripen it's like drinking mango juice just superb :)

That sounds so good!

I love all of these fruits! Only problem is, in CA, they're not always available to buy (only mangos are abundantly available here), and if they are, it's very expensive.

Have you eaten this fruit???
I think it tastes similar to the 1st fruit you have mentioned,
I haven't seen that fruit, but this one here is India we call SeethaPal, its really tasty, it has similar kind of texture, with thin fleshy, sugery pulp on the outside and black seed inside..

I just love it.. :)

Yes your right does have that similar taste have eaten many of them here in Thailand there is a smaller size and a larger size i found the smaller size one is more juicy and tasty.

Now I'm craving this fruit. In the Philippines, we call it 'atis'. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for letting me know the Philippines name it is a awesome tasty fruit :)
