If you are Asian people, you would know this tree well. Star gooseberry or we call it as “Ma-Yom” in Thai. It is a tree that is popular among Thai people because it has a good meaning.
We believe if we plant Ma-Yom in front of our house, people will admire us! Besides, we believe that Ma-Yom can prevent evil from our houses.
If you are my old friends, you may learn that its taste is very sour…. I like to cook it with sugar, fish sauce and chilies. Yummy!
Ma-yom contains a lot of vitamin C that can prevent our body from cold.
The background of the below photo is my house! ;)

This Ma-Yom tree is in front of my neighbor’s house. It’s not tall, but there are a lot of Ma-yom at its branches. Really amazing!
Just looking at these, I feel very hungry now! Ha ha! ;D
That is something I am going to need to try for sure!
Oh! I'm really glad to hear that! ;)
Thanks so much for your comment and your great support to my work! ;))
I have never seen any fruits like this in our stores. Fresh or even in a can. They look really good - but I don't think I have ever met a fruit that I did not like! ; ) You have so many different fruits around you - that's fantastic! And it looks like this tree sure has a lot to harvest! Do they get ripe all at once, or over a long period of time?
Thanks so much for your comment and stopping by. I think this fruit can be planted only in Asia and it's an ordinary fruit which is not exported outside the country, that's why you haven't seen this before.
Yes, there are a lot of fruits each tree..... They get ripe over a long period throughout the year.... I had one tree in my house in Phatthalung, in the South of Thailand, and I like to eat the fruits every day! ;)
I got behind in my comments. But I want to be sure to thank you for this comment about your Star Gooseberry. I really like learning about what plants people use and like, in different places around the world. It would be so cool to have a fruit that is around all the time! And one that is so local -- appreciated by everyone around, but only available in that area. Those are the kind of differences that make for an interesting and special world! :D
I absolutely agree with you, "Those are the kind of differences that make for an interesting and special world". Good wordings! ;))
We don't have that here in the Philippines but they loom yummy! I like sour fruits so I think I would enjoy this. You never fail to teach me something new with your posts. Thank you for that, my friend!
PS. Youre very skilled with taking pictures! The photos are great!
Oh! Your comment about my post and my photos can make me have a wide smile now! Many thanks! ;D
At first, I think this fruit can be planted in all Asian countries, I'm much surprised to know from you that you don't have this fruit in the Philippines. In the meantime, I'm glad to know that you like sour fruits, like me..... ;))
They do look very good, but if you say sour, I might need coconut milk or something else, like the fish and sugar. Hot chilies? How big are these fruits? I've eaten regular gooseberries, but they were small. You may have said in a previous post, but my memory is not too stupendous.
So nice to have them right outside. I hope you get to pick and eat many Ma-Yom, and you have a nice day today as well.
Ha ha! So many questions from you! That's very good of you! This fruit is not so big..... It's good to know that you've eaten them! Yes, it's very long time ago that I posted about this fruit, I myself almost forgot it! ;))
Thanks so much for your nice comment! Have a wonderful day. GFF! ;D
Thank you very much for teaching us

We have fruit in the play-like
The grapes are a fine fruit of the crust, of my heart, juicy, growing on the vineyard. The grapes appear on clusters where there are usually between six fruits and three hundred fruits. The color of the fruit varies according to its varieties and the colors are either black, blue, violet or golden color tend to green or white.This is very excellent. @tangmo
The fossils discovered for grape seeds and leaves show that man ate and fed grapes since prehistoric times in the ancient Syrian civilizations and was known for thousands of years in ancient Syrian and Roman civilizations, the ancient Egyptians, as evidenced by the inscriptions and drawings discovered in Syria and Greece, Temples.
