History & Origins
Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), introduced centuries ago through trade, quickly became beloved in Cambodian cuisine. Local varieties like the Neang Pich and Neang Tamm, alongside imported Roma, San Marzano, and heirlooms, are staples in Phnom Penh markets.

Tomatoes grow mainly in provinces such as Kandal, Kampong Cham, Takeo, Kampot, and Battambang, with harvest season from November to April during the dry season to avoid disease. This makes fresh tomatoes widely accessible for home cooks eager to preserve Khmer culinary traditions.

Culture & Occasions
Peng Paw Nhyat Sach is a comfort food often served at family gatherings, casual dinners, and festive occasions such as Khmer New Year. It symbolizes wholesome, shared meals that nourish body and soul, reinforcing the cultural value of home cooking.

Market Prices in Phnom Penh (Approximate)
Tomatoes (Neang Pich, local variety): 3,000 - 4,000 KHR per kilogram (~$0.75 - $1.00)
Imported Roma and hybrid tomatoes: 4,000 - 6,000 KHR per kilogram (~$1.00 - $1.50)
Pork shoulder (fatty cut): ~7,000 KHR per 500 grams (~$1.75)
Fresh herbs and seasonings: ~2,000 KHR (~$0.50)

Total estimated cost for 4 servings: 13,500 KHR (~$4.40)

Metabolic Health Benefits & Urgency 🧑‍⚕️
Pork shoulder's natural fat supports cholesterol essential for hormone production and cellular functions, while tomatoes provide antioxidants and vitamins aiding metabolism and heart health.

As ASEAN confronts surging obesity, cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure fueled by fast food, sugary drinks, and junk food, this nutrient-rich, balanced dish epitomizes the urgent return to healthy home cooking.

It’s a delicious, affordable step toward reversing chronic disease trends by reconnecting with culturally-rooted nutrition.
