Many mango lovers agree that the Sugar Mango™ from Colombia is one of the sweetest and most flavorful mangos in the world. With a Brix (sweetness score) of over 22 (that’s very sweet! to give you a comparison, most common mangos have a comparable Brix of 10-14, so the mini-mango is like a candy in comparison! (A healthy candy) We can all agree that buying fresh fruit instead of processed snacks is good for the environment, your body, and for your taste buds. Naturally grown mini-mangos are fragrant, sweet, and are edible with the skin. This is a really unique feature of the fruit. It's very common in Colombia to see this fruit as part of a lunch or mid-day snack, because its so easy to carry and eat - no peeling required! Goldenberry Farms™ is one of the best know growers of these type of mini-mangos, and even has their own line of naturally grown Sweet Sugar Mangos™, an ultra-sweet and egg-sized mango variety, trademarked by the company. These tree mangos easily fit in the palm of your hand and are unique due to their ability to be eaten with their skin, giving it the nickname of “lunchbox mango.” Unlike some other exotic mangos, Sweet Sugar Mangos™ do not have fiber. The fragrant red center is juicy and delicious, and has a small pit in the center.  Sweet Sugar Mangos™ and Sugar Mangos™ (both are trademarked varieties) only grow commercially in one region, the Magdalena Region of Colombia, close to Santa Marta on the Caribbean Coast. The tropical environment and unique locale create a perfect microclimate for this specialty fruit, in trees that can grow to be 60 years old! Imagine how many mangos can be on a tree larger than a house!    The small fruit is celebrated in the region during the spring harvest period, which runs from April until September this year. You can always find locals with mini mangos in their pockets- and why not, they really are the perfect anytime treat!
