Whence do the best mangos come from?

Hawaii!!!

they dont even taste like mangos ive eaten in america.

totally different, 100 percent better!!

Ask all those people who have tasted or eaten Philippine Mangoes ( the real "Kinalabaw" Philippine mangoes because there are many kinds of mangoes that are grown in the Philippines like Indian mango, Hawaiian mango, Piko mango and many others) and they'll tell you they aaaaaaaaaare the best in the world. I've eaten mangoes that are the products of different South-East Asian countries, Peru, and Mexico, but they cannot be compared with Philippine mangoes when it comes to quality of taste.

The Philippines exports these "Kinalabaw" mangoes to Hawaii and some parts of the US.

Read this and choose the one you prefer.The one you choose would be the best type for you because something may be the best but yet it's not your taste so just choose the one you like from the discription.

KENT MANGO

Florida 1944. Direct descendant of the Brooks cultivar, derived from the Sandersha seedling. The fruit is a regular oval shape, large 20 - 26 ounces, with plump cheeks, greenish-yellow color with red shoulder. Very rich and sweet with fiber-free flesh (slices clean to the pit - like butter when ripe!) A softer mango, that really should not be put to the squeeze test.

TOMMY ATKINS MANGO

Florida early 1920's. Mango cultivar developed and grown for commercial export. The fruit is a regular oval, medium to large sized, 12 to 24 ounces, yellowish-orange with deep red to purple blush, thicker skinned, juicy but firm with medium fiber.

HADEN MANGO

Captain Haden - 1910, Florida. Originated from Mulgoba seedling, Bombay, India. The fruit is a regular oval, large, 16 - 24 ounces, yellow almost entirely washed over with an orange-red color, mild in flavor with a small amount of fiber

ATAULFO MANGO

Indonesian type - originated from a Hawaiian seedling strain, direct descendant of the Manila mango seedling race common in Veracruz State, Mexico. - The fruit is a small, flat, oblong shape, 6 - 12 ounces, greenish yellow to deep golden when ripe; delicious, very sweet, rich in flavor and close to fiber free. (butter!)

KEITT

Indian strain thought to have originated, like the Haden, from a seedling of Mulgoba 1945, Homestead, Florida. The fruit is a large (20-26 oz.) ovate tapering with slight nose-like protuberance above its tip. Green to orange-yellow as it ripens; firm flesh with a piney sweetness and minimal fiber surrounding the seed area. A late fruiting mango, often available into fall.

I live in the Northeastern US (NY/NJ Metro area) and find the most delicious mangoes in local hispanic markets & farmer's markets.

*****************************************************************

The exact origins of the mango are unknown, but most believe that it is native to Southern and Southeast Asia including the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh owing to the wide range of genetic diversity in the region and fossil records dating back 25 to 30 million years. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mango
