Florida Mangoes vary in size, shape, coloring and taste according to their ripeness and variety. Mango coloring ranges from green to red.
Mango Shipping Season begins July 6th.
Varieties available - Remainder of July & August - Keitts - The fruit is a large (20-26 oz.) ovate tapering with slight nose-like protuberance above its tip. Green to orange-yellow as it ripens; firm flesh with a piney sweetness and minimal fiber surrounding the seed area.
Selection and Storage - A ripe mango gives to gentle pressure. A firm one needs further ripening before eating. Ripen all varieties of mangoes at room temperature, uncovered and out of direct sun. Turn mangoes occasionally. Refrigerate ripe fruit in a plastic bag for no more than three days.
Preparation and Cooking Tips: Mangoes are used differently according to their stage of ripeness. Before ripening they are used in pickles and conserves. At a riper stage they are cooked into relishes and vegetable side dishes. Adding them to a fruit salad adds flavor, color, aroma and texture. Mangoes must be peeled prior to eating out of hand.
Florida limes are a citrus fruit that grows in South Florida and other tropical areas. There are two major types: Mexican or Key limes, and Persian or Tahiti limes. The Key lime is small and round, about 1 to 2 inches in diameter. The fruit has a thin, smooth, leathery rind, and is green when immature and more yellow in color at maturity. The flesh is greenish-yellow, juicy, seedy, and more acidic than Tahiti limes. Tahiti limes are larger than Key limes and oval shaped. The fruit is dark green when mature, gradually becoming yellow when over mature. The flesh is light green, juicy, slightly acidic, and generally seedless. Limes are available all year long, but summer is the peak season. Look for limes that are firm, have smooth, shiny skins; are free from decay, broken, bruised or hard, dry skins; and are deep green (Tahiti) or yellow (Key lime) in color.
