What is philippine mango?

Philippine mango, also known as Carabao mango, is a variety of mango that is native to the Philippines. It is considered by many to be one of the best-tasting mango varieties in the world, known for its sweet, juicy, and aromatic flesh.

The fruit is typically large in size, with a smooth yellow skin when ripe. The flesh is yellow-orange in color and has a creamy texture and a rich, tropical flavor. It is often enjoyed fresh, but can also be used in various dishes and desserts, such as mango sticky rice, mango salsa, and mango smoothies.

Philippine mangoes are in season from March to June, with the peak harvest period occurring in April and May. The country is one of the top producers of mangoes in the world, with the province of Guimaras being particularly famous for its high-quality mangoes.

In 1995, the Philippine mango was declared the national fruit of the Philippines in recognition of its importance to the country's agriculture and economy. It is also one of the most exported fruits from the Philippines, with a strong demand in international markets due to its superior taste and quality.
