Thailand mangoes
this post is a record of nam dok mai
*entry x2
*variety x1
notes...
~ nam dok mai ripe never got oily skin..
~ should always with a flowery tone
~ flesh smooth n creamy even unripe
~ flesh is not easily infected by skin rot
likely quite resistant to rot protected by skin
~ stem end rot is the most affecting on flesh quality

mango nam dok mai

#1
first open up this black one
dunno why it's not ripen properly...
stem still intact...
no bruises...
knife down is hard
especially the black skin part...
under skin flesh is not black...
yet the flesh is kinda like blocked by black hard skin...
never ripen...
though flesh is pale yellow n sour
its juicy soft n smooth...
n the sourness is special with the unique fragrance of nam dok mai...
kinda like it lol...
still finished most...
notice some seed rot on the tip...
#2
a little black shade rots like the first one
wanna find out how bad it is...
btw it's got a very cute curvy shape...
knife down is softer but still a bit firm...
same juicy inside...
a bit more deeper yellow...
but by its smell likely still underripe...
noted that the most yellow area in pic is bruises
take a bite down
it's with more ripe flesh on the outside...
much less sour...
yet not sweet throughout...
flesh is more tangy towards the seed...
same creamy juicy...
a curvy seed left...
#3
grey shaded skin comes together with some black dots甜點...
will it be more ripe?
still quite firm to the touch...
expect to be same like the first one...
especially given that its even larger...
would be less easy to get ripe...
similar light yellow colour...
similar juicy...
yet smell sweeter...
thicker rot on black skin...
as expected...
harder to ripe through...
more pale yellow at the inner flesh...
again sour yet juicy creamy...
juz the same case ...
stem end rot at seed is of purple hue...
a bit strange...
btw this seed is starting to sprout...
got many 甜點
soft to the touch with some bruises...
smells sweet n fragrant...
knife down is smooth...
can tell it's a soft ripe flesh throughout...
got much juice falling out...
perfectly ripe...
juz to the right sweetness...
with a bit of tangy...
with its distinctive flavour... hint of flowery tone...
by knife sliding through
soft n smooth...
should be a ripe one...
opening up looks good smells good
likely juz another perfect ripe piece??
however bite into the flesh is a two tone one...
inner flesh is pale yellow sour...
n got some strange air pockets...
maybe diseased???
left with some flesh on the seed...
juz strange that didn't finish it clean...
somehow not ripen properly...

btw this seed is starting to sprout...
got split open on the side...
likely a sign of too early harvested...
three pieces side by side, colour comparison...
the left most one looks deeper yellow in colour
likely more ripe...
#4

soft to the touch with some bruises...
smells sweet n fragrant...
can tell it's a soft ripe flesh throughout...
got much juice falling out...
juz to the right sweetness...
with a bit of tangy...
with its distinctive flavour... hint of flowery tone...
consistent sweet flesh the whole piece...
n as always super creamy juicy...
found a rot at a bite...
maybe insect bite?
left on seed is the single incident of rot...
#5
looks the most ripe so far
btw its smaller in size easier to get ripe...
(2pics above)
sugary sweet
without any nam dok mai flavour left...
sweet like pudding...
gooey juicy flesh with a translucent inner flesh...
so ripe that seed start to rot...
#6
very soft to touch
but likely caused by bruises...
still smell fragrant n sweet though...

n even a bit diseased...
this batch of mangoes are in strange conditions
most are not ripening properly...
maybe too early harvest?
maybe its juz a bad seed since its grown?
anyways juz not good as my past experience with nam dok mai...

juz that the bruise has not turned grey yet...
though looks great on the outer flesh
inconsistent flesh towards the seed...
maybe coz large in size
thus hard to ripe through...

sorry that would have lost flowery hint...
prefer nam dok mai thats not overripe though...
all seeds left... so much wanted to plant them...
though I dun have space for gardening...
overall nam dok mai is my dearest mango
love that unique floral flavour
not juz pure sweet...
yet still got chance to meet some poor grown
or maybe juz improperly ripened ones...
...
the best to do is give patience...
care for them since they're rock hard
n wait for the perfect moment to enjoy
this gorgeous mango is heavenly good
juz worth to pay some time n effort on...
