mango sticky rice - maroon red Mug

Thai mango, also known as "ma muang" (มะม่วง) in Thai, is a sweet and juicy fruit that is an integral part of Thai cuisine and culture. It is often referred to as the "king of fruits" in Thailand and is highly prized for its unique flavor and texture. Thai mangoes are generally larger and more fragrant than other varieties and have a distinctive yellow-orange flesh that is soft and creamy when ripe. Mango is used in many Thai dishes, including salads, curries, and desserts. One popular dessert is "sticky rice with mango," which is made by combining steamed sticky rice with slices of ripe mango and a sweet coconut milk sauce. Mango is also eaten fresh as a snack or blended into smoothies and juices.
