Sezóna a dostupnost

Guidance

Kasetsart University biodiversity material records fruiting in May–July, while another Kasetsart plant-conservation record gives June–September. BSRU additionally describes fresh-market appearance around the middle of the rainy season. Treat this as locality-sensitive Thai phenology rather than one guaranteed nationwide retail window.

Kde koupit

Guidance

Treat ลูกจัน/ลูกอิน as a seasonal/local fruit rather than guaranteed supermarket stock. BSRU explicitly documents sale in rural fresh markets around the middle of the rainy season; check local fresh/community markets during local fruiting periods.

Skladování

Guidance

Ripe D. decandra fruit is documented as soft and aromatic and is described in Thai university material as a fresh-market fruit. Handle gently, keep cool/shaded after purchase and use promptly. No exact validated household shelf-life for fresh จัน was recovered, so no fixed day count is published.
