Description

***Super Alphonso Mango is currently available for Pre-Order. When placing a Pre-Order, this means the fruit you have ordered is not currently in season, or is extremely limited in season. Your pre-order holds your place in line on our wait list. When Super Alphonso Mango comes into season and is ready to harvest from the trees, you will receive your order as soon as possible.***

Origin: The seedling '36-8' was originally named 'India' and was a product of Gary Zill's breeding program in Boynton Beach, FL. It is believed that 'Jakarta' may have been its pollen parent. The mango has undergone several name changes and is currently known as 'Super Alphonso'.

Flavor Profile: The fruit has a round shape similar to its maternal parent and has a flavor that reminds one of 'Zill-80,' but with a hint of Indian spice, making it superior. However, it does not taste like Alphonso. The 36-8 trees seem to have been reliable and productive.

How To Eat: Super Alphonso Mangos will likely need some time to ripen after delivery. Ripen at room temperature of 70 degrees or above for optimal consumption. The Super Alphonso Mango is ripe when it is soft all over. Mangos are best eaten by themselves outside or over the kitchen sink, but they also taste great blended in smoothies or salad dressings.

First come, first served, any orders that can't be shipped this season will be reserved for next season. 

The total weight of each box varies depending on the size, shape, and mass of the fruit: 

  • Large Box contains up to 8-10 pounds
  • Extra Large Box contains up to 16-20 pounds

We ALWAYS recommend ordering a LARGE BOX for the best value compared to a Small Box. The Large Box will contain more fruit and ultimately a better value because shipping, handling, and delivery are expensive per package.
