In Australia, mangoes are typically in season from July to April, with the peak season between November and February.
Choose a mango that feels heavy for its size, yields slightly when gently pressed, and smells sweet near the stem. Don’t judge ripeness by colour, as it varies between varieties.
Mangoes are known as the “king of fruits” in many countries, and they have been cultivated in South Asia for more than 4,000 years. There are now over 1,000 varieties of mangoes grown around the world, each with its own unique flavour, colour, and texture.
