Thailand: Luk chub, fruit and vegetable shaped sweet miniatures made from mung beans, a Thai dessert speciality with a banana leaf background

Luk Chub are made by boiling mung bean, sugar and coconut milk into a pulp, which is then molded into fantastical shapes such as chilies, cherries, mangosteens, oranges, mangoes, watermelons, and carrots. As a finishing touch, a jelly is applied to coat the mung bean sweets to create a plastic look and texture.
