# The mango that changes with the kitchen

Cambodia’s familiar mango has a place in both the green-fruit snack and the ripe-fruit harvest.

Keo Romeat — Cambodia; Kampong Speu and other growing provinces

A name on the map

Keo Romeat is one of Cambodia’s most familiar cultivated mangoes. A Cambodian trade guide explains keo through the pale flesh of the unripe fruit and its glass-like association. The spelling changes as the name moves between Khmer and English: Romeat, Romiet and Romet all appear in trade.

Its cultural story is also a story of stages. Cambodian producers describe people enjoying it fresh while green as well as ripe, and processors have carried it abroad as dried fruit. The sources do not establish a first breeder or mother tree, so this record keeps the everyday Cambodian name at the centre.
