Pick your favourite mango
Kensington Pride mango
Sweet, tangy and extra juicy, the Kensington Pride, with an iconic aroma, is perfect for smoothies, desserts and, of course, eating fresh.
R2E2 mango
Large mangoes with a fresh flavour and firm flesh, the R2E2 is perfect as is, but also in salads, salsas or dishes requiring good chunks of mango.
Calypso mango
Known for its sweet and sometimes floral taste, the Calypso is versatile with a smooth texture and small seed. Unripe? Pickle them. Softening? Grill them. Ripe? Enjoy fresh.
Honey Gold mango
A good all-rounder, the Honey Gold has a rich, sweet flavour with firm, but still juicy flesh. However you enjoy mango, this one’s got you covered.
Lady Jane mango
Sweet, juicy and with a hint of tropical tang, the Lady Jane has a very firm, fine texture with no fiber and an excellent shelf-life, making it perfect for snacking and storing.
Maha Chanok mango
Fiberless, creamy and smooth with floral and rich honey notes, the Maha Chanok is excellent for smoothies, desserts, fruit salads or on its own.
Brooks mango
Rich and aromatic, the Brooks mango is a late-season variety with a deep orange, nearly fiberless flesh. Its large size makes it perfect for cooking, slicing and eating fresh.
Keitt mango
Predominantly green even when ripe, the Keitt mango is sweet and tangy with hints of honey and lemon. With a fiber-free, almost buttery texture, it’s a versatile option for sweet and savoury cooking.
Ruby Gold mango
A small, oblong fruit with vibrant red skin, the Ruby Gold offers a rich and spicy-sweet flavour with a strong aroma and minimal fiber. Best enjoyed fresh — on its own, in a salad or with guacamole.
Pearl mango
With intensely sweet and floral flavours, the late-season Pearl mango has smooth, firm flesh and a silky texture. It’s an extra juicy variety best eaten fresh to fully appreciate its delicate flavour.
Fresh tips for mango
How to choose a mango
Look for colour, smell and feel. A ripe mango will be vibrant in colour and have a strong, sweet aroma at the stem. If it gives slightly when you apply light pressure, it’s ready to eat.
How to ripen and store mangoes
Keep mangoes at room temperature to ripen. Once they’re ripe, put mangoes in the fridge for up to 5 days to extend their life. Avoid storing them in plastic bags as they need to breathe. Mango freezes well, too. Chop or puree mango, and store it in the freezer for up to 6 months.
