Baby Mangos
« on: September 17, 2018, 06:43:04 PM »
Hey all!!

I visited a local Asian supermarket last week because they are the only ones to carry tropical fruits around here.

Amongst the different varieties that are currently hitting the shelves from Spain (Osteen and Irwin) I came accross those baby mangos from Columbia.

I wanted to try them and see if they had anything special besides their size as some of them were as small as a plum and a piece of grapes.

After some research I have found that some people refer to them as "mango de azucar" and "peach mango"... Not sure if they're the same though.

Anyway I really enjoyed them and I was wondering if anyone could give us more info on this variety / type of mango.

One more thing, as you may imagine I was eager to get to the pit in the hope of maybe sprouting a poly seeds... it turns out the pit shell was empty.


So if anyone can direct me to this variety or any other that has the same kinda flavor I'd really appreciate it as they were delish!!!!

Mango Azucar is a well known variety in Colombia.
According to Fairchild it is a small fibrous type to be rubbed soft and sucked through the skin.

Thanks for the links... I'll check them out!


In the meantime do you know of any commercial variety that tastes pretty much the same without the fibers and bigger too?
