Mango

The mango is a stone fruit that comes in many varieties and has a wonderful, sweet taste. Mangoes can have a green, yellow, orange, red or multicoloured skin. The colour of the skin is no indication of the ripeness of the mango.

ORIGIN

Mangoes originate from India. Our mangoes come from Peru, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Senegal and Dominican Republic.

TASTE

The ripe flesh of the mango is soft and juicy, pale orange in colour, and has a texture ranging from fibrous to almost the consistency of butter. The flesh tastes fresh and sweet and emits a sweet fragrance.

USE

Eat the flesh of the mango plain or add it to a salad or dessert.

STORAGE

Mangoes should be kept in a cool place, preferably between 8 and 10°C, but not in the refrigerator. A ripe mango has a wonderful fragrance and gives slightly when pressed gently.

TIP!

Mango is delicious in a smoothie!
