Tastes of the Tropics: Mango Men of Homestead

Known as the King of Fruits the world over, the mango (Mangifera indica) has been cultivated for thousands of years. Among the hundreds of varieties are fruits that are green, yellow, red, orange, and deep purple; flesh that is pale yellow, deep orange, fibrous, or silky smooth; and flavors that are sweet, tart, spicy or sour, sometimes tasting of coconut, lemon, orange or, well, mango.

Tropical fruit expert Dr. Richard Campbell invites us into his kitchen to taste three mangos deeply rooted in history: Cambodiana, Chao Savoy, and Cogshall and share tantalizing tales along the way. These three varieties are among the renowned mangos that Campbell and his three sons – Mango Men of Homestead – grow, sell, and ship throughout the summer.
