Mango Fralan - a new exciting discovery
Q: I am looking for a special mango called Fralan. It is the most popular mango in Vietnam where I am from. Do you have this variety?
A:
Fralan is a relatively new
variety of Mango, originated from Thailand, with green
skin. In Thai, "Fralan" means "Thunder" - as the fruit
cracks when peeled. It also has another meaning
"Foreigner" as people from the West seem to speak too loud
for Thai ears. This mango has no turpentine aftertaste
unlike some other varieties. Its flavor is superior. The
flat seed is similar to Nam Doc Mai, it has no seed coat
which is a good advantage, leaves more room for flesh and
makes it easier to eat.
Fralan can be eaten:
a) when green - it is crunchy, sweet, producing cracking
sounds (=Thunder)
b) when yellow (fully ready) - very soft, no fiber
whatsoever
The tree is early-middle harvesting season depending on
climate and has a DWARF habit! Which make is excellent
choice for potting culture. See full list of Mango varieties
from our store.
