Have you ever tried the Thai Rose Apple, Mountain Apple or ‘Shumphoo’ as they call it in Thai…? A must try while you are with us at Centre Point Bangkok…
This shiny crunchy thirst-quenching refreshing juicy fruit is very common in Thailand. From bright red to pink or green, the Rose Apple is bell shaped and similar in texture to an apple but sweeter.

Most often eaten fresh but also nice mixed with shrimp in a spicy salad (ยำชมพู่)

This food is very low in Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Niacin, Calcium and Potassium, and a very good source of Vitamin A and Vitamin C.
It is noteworthy that rose apples have low glycemic index. This makes it one of the few fruits, including grapefruits and apples that are good for diabetics. Rose apple benefits not only the diabetics, they are also considered good for the brains, liver and our blood.
