Tropical Fruits & Their Natural Benefits

Senteurs d’Angkor workshop and garden in Siem Reap is more than a beautiful space it’s a living pantry of tropical fruits, herbs, and aromatic plants that inspire our handmade natural products. This season, the garden is full of ripe tropical fruits, including sugar palm, papaya, pineapple and dragon fruit, each bursting with flavour, colour and health benefits. 

• Jackfruit: Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, it supports immunity and digestion. Seeds and pulp are sometimes used in wellness recipes or natural flavors. 

• Papaya: Packed with digestive enzymes and vitamins A and C, excellent for skin and digestion, inspiring our cosmetics and body care products. 

• Pineapple: Known for anti-inflammatory properties and high vitamin C, it adds a tropical touch to our wellness and flavor creations.

• Dragon Fruit: Full of fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, it adds nutrition and vibrant colour to our products.

Ripe golden pineapples fill the garden with their sweet fragrance, creating a bright, tropical scene.
