Spring is so close we can taste it! Last week, we brought you Honey mangoes, also known as Champagne or Ataulfo mangoes, to give you just a hint of sunshine and warmth. As much as we love tropical fruit, doesn’t it seem odd that this mango variety is in season? Let’s dive into what you need to know about this fun and exotic fruit.
Peak mango season is typically May-September, but the Honey mango walks its own path. This mango variety is in season from February to July, so we are taking full advantage of this sweet and delicious fruit!
Champagne mangoes are smaller than an average mango and notoriously sweeter. Unlike a normal mango, Champagne mangoes are much smoother and have fewer of those fibers that always get stuck in your teeth. Just one of these mangos has over 20 different vitamins and minerals while also counting for half of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C.
This fruit is grown 100% pure, the way nature intended a mango to be, indigenous to Mexico where they were first cultivated in volcanic ash soil. You can expect to see some of these delicious fruits in your kitchens over the next couple of months!
