Thai Mango - Nam Dok Mai

What is Thai Mango?

Thai mango, often known for its golden-yellow skin and fragrant aroma, is a beloved tropical fruit prized for its buttery texture and intensely sweet flavour. These mangoes are typically oval-shaped, with smooth, fibreless flesh that melts in the mouth. Known as “Nam Dok Mai” in Thailand, they are among the most sought-after varieties globally for their exquisite taste and aroma. Thai mangoes are also a rich source of vitamin C, vitamin A, and powerful antioxidants that support skin health and immunity.

How to eat:

Thai mangoes are incredibly easy to enjoy. Simply slice down each side of the pit, score the vibrant yellow flesh in a crisscross pattern, and turn the skin inside out to create a "hedgehog" of mango cubes. Scoop them straight into your mouth or onto a plate. They’re delicious chilled, and their intense sweetness makes them a natural snack straight from the fridge.

How to enjoy:

Thai mangoes shine in both sweet and savoury dishes. Pair them with sticky rice and coconut milk for the iconic Thai dessert, or blend them into smoothies and lassis for a tropical refreshment. They also work beautifully in mango salsas, chutneys, or paired with spicy dishes to balance heat with sweetness. For something simple and indulgent, drizzle a little lime juice and chilli powder over chilled mango slices — the ultimate flavour bomb.
