Nam Doc Mai Mango

Nam Doc Mai mangoes are a medium to large varietal, averaging 6 to 7 centimeters in diameter and 12 to 15 centimeters in length, and have an elongated, slender, and curved shape with a prominent beak or point on one end. The variety is heavy for its size, ranging from 250 to 500 grams in weight, and in Thailand, Nam Doc Mai is one of the largest varieties sold in commercial markets. The mango's skin is thin, smooth, and taut, showcasing mostly golden yellow hues when ripe, sometimes blushed with pink accents. Some ripe Nam Doc Mai mangoes may also have green still on the surface. Beyond their coloring, Nam Dok Mai mangoes exhibit small white to pale yellow lenticels and occasionally develop sugar dots on the skin when mature. Underneath the surface, the yellow flesh is fibreless, fine-grained, silky, and aqueous with a tender, succulent, soft, and melting consistency. The flesh also encases a thin and slender seed. Ripe Nam Doc Mai mangoes release a robust and intoxicating aroma. The variety is known for being one of the sweetest mangoes in Thailand, with sugar levels reaching 17 to 20 Brix, and has a honeyed, sweet, tropical, and floral flavor.
