Background of the Malva Nut
The Malva Nut or Poong Talai is called Huang Tai Hai in Chinese. Its scientific name is Scaphium Macropodum but its generic name is Malva Nut. It comes from a perennial tree, which grows 30 to 40 feet tall and flourishes in hot and humid areas. Many of these trees which are found in the Chantaburi province supply fruit once a year during the months of December and January. Overripe fruit on the trees normally will start falling off during the months of March and April.
The Malva nut is in much demand by the foreign market, especially China, for its herbal properties. It is widely accepted in medical circles and the ancient pharmaceutical practices of the Thais and Chineses. It is a reported fact that foreign countries order large amounts of Malva Nuts, which are used as a complementary element in producing ancient drugs. Some of the Malva nuts are bleached to form white jelly, which is then used as a part of artificial birds nests. It is said that in ancient times Malva Nuts mixed with syrup was a snack eaten by palace residents.
