Khmer fresh fruit part I

Cambodia - as a tropical country - has a wealth of fresh fruits on daily offer.
When you go to a local market you will be astounded by the beautiful colors and aromas , and - sometimes - the somewhat strange shape of the fruits. You can also let fruits mix into a smoothie, locally known as touk kolok.
The country's tropical fruits keep a court of their own; with the durian a revered king and the mangosteen an honored queen. To complete the royal fruit family, the lemut should be named prince and milk fruit bestowed the honor of princess.
Here are a few examples of fruits available in Cambodia, including their taste (click to enlarge picture):
1. Dragonfruit
A fantastic looking fruit, with a pinkish-purple shell, and a milky white inside with black seeds.
