These grow only in the much cooler high altitude mountains of the Northern Philippines.All other tropical fruits can be found here. Very special are the large and very sweet / tasty Cambodian mango. Also very recommended the Dragon fruit, as in the Philippines but more abundant and on markets you often see tiny mountains of Cambodian dragon fruit.
North of Siem Reap you see red bananas, never seen elsewhere before but I missed to taste them. May be next time.
A few fruits are imported, mainly from China and Vietnam, such as some oranges, grapes, apples, pears.

The pineapple is the leading edible member of the family Bromeliaceae which embraces about 2,000 species, mostly epiphytic and many strikingly ornamental. Now known botanically as Ananas comosus Merr. (syns. A. sativus Schult. f., Ananassa sativa Lindl., Bromelia ananas L., B. comosa L.), the fruit has acquired few vernacular names. It is widely called pina by Spanish-speaking people, abacaxi in the Portuguese tongue, ananas by the Dutch and French and the people of former French and Dutch colonies; nanas in southern Asia and the East Indes. In China, it is po-lo-mah; sometimes in Jamaica, sweet pine; in Guatemala often merely "pine" .  Bananas is the world’s most popular fruit. It comes in a biodegradable wrapper and the fruit possibly originated in Malaysia. Bananas are a good source of fiber, potassium and vitamin C. They are very low in saturated fat and sodium, high in dietary fibre, potassium, in vitamin B6 and vitamin C. They contain all the 8 aminoacids our body cannot produce itself.  The coconut (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the family Arecaceae (palm family). It is the only accepted species in the genus Cocos,[2] and is a large palm, growing up to 30 m tall, with pinnate leaves 4–6 m long, and pinnae 60–90 cm long; old leaves break away cleanly, leaving the trunk smooth. The term coconut can refer to the entire coconut palm, the seed, or the fruit, which is not a botanical nut. The spelling cocoanut is an old-fashioned form of the word.[3]  The coconut palm is grown throughout the tropics for decoration, as well as for its many culinary and non-culinary uses; virtually every part of the coconut palm can be utilized by humans in some manner. However, the extent of cultivation in the tropics is threatening a number of habitats such as mangroves; an example of such damage to an ecoregion is in the Petenes mangroves of the Yucatan.[4] In cooler climates (but not less than USDA Zone 9), a similar palm, the queen palm (Syagrus romanzoffiana), is used in landscaping. Its fruits are very similar to the coconut, but much smaller. The queen palm was originally classified in the genus Cocos along with the coconut, but was later reclassified in Syagrus. A recently discovered palm, Beccariophoenix alfredii from Madagascar, is nearly identical to the coconut, and more so than the queen palm. It is cold-hardy, and produces a coconut lookalike in cooler areas.[5] |
