Ataulfo Mango
ATAULFO Mangoes are also known as Honey Mangoes or Manila Mangoes, but they are in a mango class all their own. The reason is fantastic flavor and
their string-less flesh.
Selection Information
Usage: Eat out of hand, in salads, as a chutney, juiced or blended - the uses go on and on. Expect Ataulfo mangoes be small - 10 to 14 count per
case at the largest.
Selection & Storage: The ATAULFO Mango has one of the thinnest seeds of any mango. Although generally smaller than other mango varieties,
the meat portion is quite large for its size, and the string-less interior melts in your mouth.
The flesh of the Ataulfo Mango is bright yellow to orange when ripe, and it roughly has the shape of an "S". Choose yellow to orange, not light green,
mangoes that give slightly with gentle pressure. Ask your produce person to cut into one for you so you can see and taste the quality level.
Do not refrigerate.
Avoid: Avoid mangoes that cut with anything but an orange to yellow interior. Many Ataulfo mangoes get to cold in transport and the flesh turns black to gray and is spoiled.
Seasonal Information
Ataulfo mangoes are usually available twice a year in the spring and fall

Mango Tips & Trivia
- If the description says Manila Mango, you're probably eating an Ataulfo - unless you are in the Philippines. Many off-shore mangoes are not
allowed into the States due to pests that can not be eradicated, so we only get to taste a small number of all the mango varieties available in
tropical regions.
