Sugar Sweet Mangos® begin 2022 Export Season
“These Naturally grown mini-mangos are fragrant, sweet, and are edible with the skin.”
BOGOTA, CO – March 10, 2022. Goldenberry Farms™ has begun shipping the initial boxes of Sweet Sugar Mangos™, an ultra-sweet and miniature mango variety, trademarked by the company. These naturally grown 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.”
The Sweet Sugar Mango has a red, fragrant flesh with a sweet juicy taste and a brix level of 22. Unlike some other exotic mangos, Sweet Sugar Mangos™ do not have a fibrous taste. These miniature mangos are grown naturally, non-GMO, and have a peak harvest season of April through September.
The origin of the miniature mango is believed to be Spain, where the trees thrived in the summer sun. Sailors brought the mango tree and many different varieties to the Americas in the 1600’s, and other exotic ports. Today, the miniature mango exists in 16+ different countries across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Our Sugar Mangos™ are grown in Spain, Brazil, Colombia, and New Zealand. They are marked with the country of origin, and will usually come to you from the nearest possible origin.
This season of Sweet Sugar Mangos® features miniature mangos grown near Santa Marta, Colombia - on the Caribbean Coast. The tropical environment and unique locale create an ideal microclimate for this specialty fruit, highlighted for its extreme popularity in the region.
“This variety is really special, it is smaller and more sweet and fragrant than the Ataulfo and Honey mango, and much more convenient to eat. It’s very popular with parents and children who really love the fact that they can be eaten without peeling.“
Sweet Sugar Mangos™ are offered commercially in 2 kilo (4.5 pound) cases, which hold between 18-24 mangos each. Specially branded retail kits and mini boxes are available to merchandise the Sugar Mango™ miniature mangos in store.
Goldenberry Farms™ expects to offer up to 6,000 cases weekly of Sugar Mangos™ and Sweet Sugar Mangos™. The fruit is available to customers globally, and pending the final permissions for entering the USA market, which is expected for this season.
