Australian mangoes are succulent and sweet……… and very colourful. There are a number of varieties. The sweetest is the Bowen and those in the picture are the Calypso mangoes.

Oh yum. I love any kind of mango. In fact I have a couple in the fridge. Maybe I will wander back to my room and get one!

Hi Rose,

As for the Calypso mangoes, the fruit seller told us that they can still be a bit tart but will be sweet if we keep them for one day. They were sweet but not as sweet as the Bowen. I am intriqued by these mangoes because in Malaysia, the mangoes are green when unripe and turn yellow when ripe. As such, they are not as colourful as the Australian ones.

Hi Aloha,

We too have mangoes all over including the backyards. However, when I was there, I did not see the mangoes (maybe off-season) but I really enjoyed the papayas (paw paw) especially the Rainbow variety.

Hi Rose,

I have been told by the fruit seller that the mango is ripe when the green colour has disappeared.

Hi sw,

We have some very sour mangoes which are pickled or used to make rojak (mango slices eaten with some kind of sweet paste).

Hi JAN,

There are those who don't like mangoes and I was attracted by the clours of your mangoes.
