About Som tam

Som Tam, also known as Thai Green Papaya Salad, is a vibrant dish originating from Thailand. Made with shredded unripe papaya, it blends salty, sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors, common in Southeast Asian cuisine. Traditional ingredients include fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, chili, tomatoes, peanuts, dried shrimp, and palm sugar, often pounded together in a mortar for a textured finish. Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber from papaya and other fresh vegetables, Som Tam is a nutritious addition to any meal. Its high vitamin C content supports immunity and skin health, while the peanuts provide healthy fats and protein. However, the dish can be high in sodium due to fish sauce and dried shrimp, and the sweetness from palm sugar may add extra calories. Typically served as a light, refreshing side, Som Tam balances bold flavors with wholesome ingredients.
