Mamuang kuan (Thai: มะม่วงกวน, Thai pronunciation: [mā.mûaŋ kūan]), also referred to as preserved mango or mango leather, is a traditional Thai sweet. It is a preparation of dried mango in fruit leather form.[1]
Mamuang kuan is slender and delicate,[2] offering a chewy and soft texture, and golden color. It tastes sweet-and-sour.[3] People sometimes prepare it as a circle, flower, or spiral. It is prepared by slow-cooking mango with sugar and salt, and optionally coconut milk.[4][5] Traditionally, the mango is then sun-dried for multiple days, but this may be accelerated with a conventional oven. Farmers often make mamuang kuan from fallen mangoes that would otherwise not make it to the market.[6]
