Ataulfo Mango

[y0rascal]

Has anyone every tried it? saw it at Sams club just wondering, I checked the mango list and observed it is a poly seed, which I might get some to grow multiple plants, but what is the quality of them and is there any fiber? it doesn't list in the mango list.

Also has anyone heard of a Johnson mango tree? it supposed to be a cross with a haden. My brother in'law uncle has one and they love it and enjoy the flavor.  I just cant seem to find any info on it.

...just bought some at Costco today.  They are good, not great in my opinion.  Sometimes above average
other times lacking.  I buy them often from Costco in season.....

In my experience, Costco(including other big chain store, ethnic market is the way to go) doesn't carried them when they are best flavored. I like the ones I can get at the swap meet or the ethnic store when they are soft, a little wrinkled(my opinion) and over ripe. Super sweet and flavorful. Even better if you live in the Southern Cali area, they get shipped there the most ripe since it's closer to the Mexican border. But if you can't find any wrinkled one, just let it sit for a while. But I think I saw someone post on GW saying that the ones from Guatemala is kinda sour compare to the Mexican ones.

Maybe the ones i bought at Publix where not at prime for eating , could also be that they where in the cooler way to long at publix.
I will try them again, but from another location.

If your located in South Florida now during mango season, skip the Mexican imports at Costco and Publix and get yourself a locally grown mango of which South Florida produces some of the very best. Its kind of like being in Washington State and then buying imported cheap substandard apples. We have several growers on this forum who can provide the best varieties. I never heard of Johnson mango but I'll bet its a lot better then a Costco mango.

Yup, give them another go, like I said try the ethnic stores or just let them get wrinkled skin and soft. Forgot to mention, that I've tried both the Mexican grown and Guatemalan grown ones and the latter is bit more tart/sour.

I will do !

Ataulfo,marketed as Champagne mango. Undeveloped Ataulfo ( market as Popcorn mango), these are sold in China in Box like boxes with about 15 little mangoes per box. They have no seed inside the husk. Bought them with their brand name tag on them at a supermarket in Guadalajara, Mexico a couple of years ago. I think the Popcorn mango targets children.
Comparing IndoChinese mangoes:  I have tried some  Thai mangoes while in Thailand last month: NDM(regular, tong, supersized), Mahachanok, Okrung, Raet, Chokanan etc... . IMO Ataulfo is just as good.

Wow, never knew they had a small seedless one for sale too. Guess they are like the cuties Clementine market for kids over here in the states.
