Kent Mango

🌈 Mango Rainbow tasting table: varieties you should try

Kent Mango variety is native to Florida. It is originated in Coconut Grove, in 1945 from a Haden seed.
Kent has an excellent flavor, large size, and very little fiber. Considered by many to be one of the best tasting Florida mangoes and one of the most beautiful, truly rainbow colored fruit!
Eat before fruit gets too ripe.
The most rewarding attribute is a bountiful late season crop.
