Late spring through July is prime time for indulging in the unique buttery sweetness of honey mangoes. Also known as Champagne or Ataúlfo mangoes, honey mangoes are named after Mexican mango grower Ataúlfo Morales Gordillo, who cross-pollinated several mango trees to create the fruit.
Unlike a typical supermarket mango, honey mangoes boast a silky-smooth flesh, free from any fibrous or stringy texture. Their small pit is a bonus, ensuring more fruit to relish (and even make relish – hey, that’s your first mango recipe!). Whether blended into smoothies, pureed into a sauce, incorporated into baked goods, or grilled, honey mangoes offer bright color and mouth-watering flavor at every meal.
The health benefits of honey mangoes are manifold: A single mango provides 100% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin C, 3 grams of fiber, and a rich dose of vitamin A, an antioxidant that promotes healthy vision.
So, what are you waiting for? Let's mango!
