Uvaria dulcis is a woody climber (liana) in the custard apple family, reaching up to 30 m, with yellow-red fruits eaten as a snack in Cambodia. It is a tropical vine that needs a warm, humid climate and room to climb.
Uvaria dulcis is a species of woody climber in the Annonaceae family. It is found in tropical Asia, in a disjunctive distribution, eastern Indonesia, Jawa, and then Mainland Southeast Asia. The plant has an edible fruit, which in Khmer language has the colourful name triël dâhs krabéi (="triel of the buffalo udders").
The species is native to a disjunctive area, covering parts of Mainland Southeast Asia and eastern Malesia. Countries and regions where the taxa occurs are: Indonesia (Nusa Tenggara, Maluku Islands, Jawa); Thailand; Cambodia; Vietnam; Laos; Myanmar.
The fruit, the same size as buffalo udders (see #Vernacular names), are much appreciated as a snack or titbit in Cambodia, and are sold in the market in March and April.
