Sweet Green Mango
Sweet Green Mango is a unique type of mango that is already sweet in flavor while still green and firm. In Thailand, this variety is known as mamuang kiew sa wei and is specifically enjoyed at this stage because of its distinctive characteristics. The mango has a firm, crunchy texture and a fresh taste with lightly sweet, almost floral and nutty notes. Unlike a ripe mango, it is less juicy and less intensely tropical, with a bite that is more similar to a crisp apple.

How to store
Store Sweet Green Mango at room temperature to keep it fresh, or in the refrigerator to slow down the ripening process.
How to eat
What makes this mango unique is that it is best enjoyed before it fully ripens. As it softens, the flavor changes and the fresh crunch it is valued for disappears. Sweet Green Mango is mainly used in fresh applications, where its crisp texture and mild sweetness take center stage. Unlike sour mango, which is often used in salads or dishes, Sweet Green Mango is usually kept simple. In Thailand, it is often peeled, cut into slices, and eaten fresh as a snack. It is regularly served with a dipping sauce of chili, salt, and sometimes sugar or fish sauce.
