Mangoes are tropical fruits known for their sweet, juicy flesh and vibrant color, rich in vitamins A and C, and antioxidants. They are often referred to as the “king of fruits” due to their popularity and unique flavor. Mangoes thrive in warm climates and are commonly eaten fresh, blended into smoothies, or used in cooking. In addition to being delicious, mangoes support immune function and skin health. Five popular mango varieties include:
Alphonso – Known for its sweetness, richness, and creamy texture.
Haden – A vibrant, flavorful variety with a tangy-sweet taste.
Kent – A juicy, fiberless mango with a sweet, smooth flavor.
Tommy Atkins – Firm, mildly sweet, and one of the most widely available varieties.
