A mango is a tropical Asian evergreen tree (Mangifera indica) cultivated for its edible fruit.

The ovoid fruit of this tree has a smooth rind with a sweet, juicy flesh and a flat one-seeded stone. It is eaten ripe or pickled when green.

Reference to mangos as the "food of the gods" can be found in the Hindu Vedas.

Varieties
 

  • Kent is a mango rich and sweet in flavor with a juicy and tender texture.    Its fiber-free flesh allows it to cut clean to the pit.  Kents are mostly green with a crimson red blush.
     

  • Haden mangos are mild in flavor with a small amount of fiber.  They have a firm texture.  The unripened greenish red color changes to a yellow with red luster.
     

  • Tommy Atkins are a firm mango with a fairly fibrous texture.  They are juicy and mildly sweet.  Sometimes the skin is covered with a crimson-red color.  They are the most ‘red’ of the mango varieties we sell.
     

  • Madame Francis is grown in Haiti.  The color of the skin is a pastel yellow.  It is a very sweet and juicy mango.  It has a beautiful soft fragrance.
     

  • Ataulfo mangos are very sweet.  A deep golden yellow when ripe, they are rich in flavor and close to fiber-free.
