มะนาว
The small, round, green citrus fruit essential in Thai cuisine. Used fresh in som tam, tom yum, and pad thai for its sour juice. Street vendors sell them at markets, and restaurants always have them for squeezing over food. Much more sour than Western limes, they're a key flavor in authentic Thai cooking.
