New commercial variety of Mango available

[DaveT]

It has that dark green color of fáalân (ฟ้าลั่น) mango, the size is about right but the shape of that one is a bit more bulbous. Fáalân mango is sold in the market here in Cairns always as a green eating mango. Shape-wise it does seem closer to brahm kai meu/phraamkhăimia (พราหมณ์ขายเมีย).

Here’s a picture of the Fruit cut open. I just noticed that this recent picture shows the flesh as being more white in color than compared to last year. These Mangos are excellent eaten in their crunchy state.

This year, these Mangos taste just a bit less sweet than compared to last year, perhaps they were picked early which might also explain why the flesh color is more pale.

I think it is mun kun si mango...very nice when eaten green.

It is Keo Sevoy (Kyo Savoy,Khaew Sawei).  I have the keo sevoy tree from Florida and they taste identical to these mango. 

FYI—i planted the seed and it is also growing.

Looks like Kioew Savoy or some variation of it.
The mongo get sweet on the tree and light green when is done. They don't store or ship well ripe so not many in stores.

If someone from Florida can please post pictures of Mun Kun Si and Keo Savoy, I would really appreciate it. A member from Florida sent me pictures of his Mun Kun Si fruit several years ago and they closely resembled the fruit in question but I can no longer find the pictures. This crunchy type mango that is now available every year around summertime is still the best crunchy type mango I’ve ever eaten.

Having seen descriptions of Thai mangos, posted by different nurseries in Florida, different murseries in California, and different nurseries in North Queensland, I wonder if we are nearing completeness of switch-er-rooing the suppossed names and the biological varieties.  Having never learned Thai, nor ever visited Thailand, I can't opine which might be correct.

Anyone know who sells the mun kung si scions I'm now interested because I mainly eat all my mangos green only

[lebmung]

the 2nd one is still hanging on the tree. It's getting bigger. I"m waiting to turn color and what it taste like when ripe.

They will not turn colour. Only to light green and at some point drop from the tree.

Yes this can be mun kun si but you picked them too late, they should be green to be very crunchy and nice. But also in this state they are delicious but more soft .


mun kun si has no fibre at all, a small pit and are more slander than keo savoey...both can be delicous eaten green.
