Current Facts
The Brahm Kai Meu mango is botanically classified under the Mangifera indica species, and is known locally in Thailand as Pram Kai Mea. This mango is often referred to as the “candy mango” for its sweet taste. Brahm Kai Meu mangoes are eaten when just mature, while still green and before any color changes on the skin of the fruit; this is referred to as “raw”.

Applications
In Thailand, the raw Brahm Kai Meu mangoes are almost always eaten with a dipping sauce. The two most popular are ‘prik gleua’, a mix of salt, sugar and dried chili, and ‘nam pla wan,’ a blend of chilli, fish sauce and palm sugar, heated until a caramel consistency. Brahm Kai Meu mangoes are also used to make ice cream and juices. Raw mangoes can be dried or pickled to preserve. Brahm Kai Meu mangoes are best enjoyed before they fully ripen.

The name Brahm Kai Meu is a phonetic spelling of the Thai word: Prahmnskaiemii. It is said that roughly translated, it means that the taste is so good even a Brahmin (the Hindu caste of teachers, priests and keepers of knowledge) would give up his wife for a Brahm Kai Meu mango.

They are most often found only in the area of Thailand, but some large tropical growers have them available for purchase in Australia and Florida in the United States.
