Varieties of mangoes



over the world. But with new breeding methods, there are new varieties are coming in the market. While growing up in my home land (Pakistan) which was once part of India. I was told there are close to 2000 varieties of mangoes. I have seen mangos as big as 10 inch long and about 5 to 6 inch in diameter. Those kinds of mangos are perfect to cut and eat. I have also seen very tiny size of mangos, with real small pit. Which are perfect to suck juice out of them without cutting.

Below are name of some of the varieties:

Tommy atkins, Francis, Carne, Blanc, Rosalie, Jean-Marie, Kent, Keith, Haden, Glenn, Kensington pride, Davis, Irwin, Heidi, Brooks, Julie, Amelie, Zephirine, Van dyke, Graham, Peach, Grenada, Katchamitha, Langra, Ok-rong, Gaew, Fa-lan, Dawkmai.
