Tropical fruit / Strawberries
Thai name:
Strawberry
Scientific
name: Fragaria spp.
Season: December
to March
Strawberries,
like grapes, are normally associated with temperate countries,
and many visitors who come to Thailand between December and March
are surprised at the quantities of luscious berries available.
Actually, they thrive at the higher altitudes in the northern
part of the country and were one of the first fruits introduced
by King Bhumiphol to the hill tribes as a substitute crop
for opium poppy. Today fresh strawberries are plentiful
during the fruiting season, as a visit to any supermarket will
attest. As in the West, strawberries are also used to produce
excellent jam.

However, numerous studies have shown that testosterone is not
just the hormone of desire but also the hormone of slim.
