Mango

Mango (Mangifera indica) is tropical fruit royalty in South Florida, where hundreds of varieties of mangos grow – backyard favorites like Kent, Haden and Glenn, and beloved mangos from India (Alphonse, Mallika), Southeast Asia (Nam Doc Mai), the Caribbean (Julie, Graham), Mexico (Ataulfo) and Central America (Fairchild). Mangos can be ripe when green, yellow, orange or red; as small as pears or as large as footballs; sweet, tart and juicy; and taste of pineapple, coconut, lemon or peach. The best have buttery smooth flesh free of stringy fibers.
