The Largest Mango Variety

The largest variety of mango is the Keitt. It’s named after J.N. Keitt, who planted a mango seed in her back garden in Homestead, Florida, in 1939 and eventually cultivated this large, green-skinned variety.

It’s now grown across much of the Caribbean, and Central and South America, but is only available for a short period in the summer, which means they can be tricky to get a hold of. If you find one, give it a gentle squeeze to see if it has some give. If so, that means it’s ripe (you won’t be able to tell by looking at it). Grab as many as you can carry and spend the next few days enjoying their succulently sweet, sour and slightly citrusy flavour.
