Mangos are grown in tropical climates all over the world. The mangos we sell here in the U.S. come primarily from Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Guatemala and Haiti. As you know, these countries harvest their mango crops at different times of the year, making it possible for you to provide your customers with mangos year round by using a global sourcing strategy.

Although other varieties are available at certain times of the year, the bulk of mangos sold in the U.S. are one of the five varieties described below. Each one has a unique flavor and texture, which makes mango tasting an adventure of new discoveries! Be sure to educate yourself and experience what your customers will experience. Try all of the mango varieties at different stages of ripeness and at different times of the year. You'll be glad you did.
