Miracle Fruit

 

We are starting to post short YouTube videos on the mango varieties we grow. Right now, we have videos on 'Rosa', 'Lemon Meringue' and 'Glenn'. And more to come!

 

'Glenn' is an excellent mango variety! It is bright yellow with a beautiful blush of orange to red. Related to 'Haden', 'Glenn' originated in Miami. The fruit has a pleasant, rich, sweet flavor and no fiber. In this video, find out more information on the origin of 'Glenn' mango, the tree and its fruit.

This unique vibrant yellow-gold mango from Burma has many loyal fans and a short season. Instead of a traditional mango flavor, 'Lemon Meringue' is aromatic and tastes like citrus. Its flesh is moist with a smooth texture and no fiber. In this video, find out more information on the origin of 'Lemon Meringue' , the tree and its fruit.

The first variety in our Mango series that first mango variety we pick every year- 'Rosa'! This unique mango from northern Brazil is highly colored with very firm (fibrous but not stringy) flesh and a distinctive flavor somewhat similar to the 'East Indian' Mango. 'Rosa' sets multiple crops of fruit starting sometimes as early as March.
