Gac (Momordica Cochinchinensis Spreng) is a tropical fruit found in Thailand, Vietnam and other regions of Southeast Asia where it is greatly valued for its many important health benefits. Gac grows on vines and is usually collected from fence climbers or from wild plants. The vines can commonly be seen growing on lattices at the entrances to rural homes or in gardens. It only fruits once a year, and is found seasonally in local markets. The fruit itself becomes a dark orange color upon ripening, and is typically round or oblong, maturing to a size of about 13 cm in length and 10 cm in diameter. Its exterior skin is covered in small spines while its dark red interior consists of clusters of fleshy pulp and seeds. It is esteemed as the “fruit from heaven” and is prized for its ability to promote longevity, vitality, and health*. Unknown to indigenous folks, gac is a fountain of antioxidants, as recent research unveiled. Gac is a super fruit and has been shown to be very high in lycopene content. Relative to mass, it contains up to 70 times the amount of lycopene as found in tomatoes. It has also been found to contain up to 10 times the amount of beta-carotene (vitamin A) of carrots or sweet potatoes.Additionally, the carotenoids present in gac are bound to long chain fatty acids, resulting in what is claimed to be a more bio available form. There has also been recent research that suggests that gac contains a protein that may inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. Traditionally, gac has been used as both food and medicine in the regions in which it grows. Other than the use of its fruit and leaves for special culinary dishes, gac is also used for its medicinal and nutritional properties. In Asia, the seed membranes are said to aid in the relief of dry eyes, as well as to promote healthy vision.
