6 Best-Tasting Mango Varieties

🥭 6 Best-Tasting Mango Varieties

Let's get one thing out of the way: mangoes are delicious. Choosing the "best-tasting" mango out of hundreds of varieties is highly subjective.
But some cultivars have flavors so distinctive that mango lovers talk about them again and again. These are five all-time favorites worth trying.

🥭 Sweet Tart

The name is surprisingly accurate. Sweet Tart combines intense sweetness with enough acidity to give the flavor a bright, almost candy-like punch. The flesh is rich, juicy and fiberless.
👌Flavor: intensely sweet, tangy, rich and complex.

🥭 Lemon Zest

This mango became famous for a reason. Along with rich mango sweetness, Lemon Zest has a distinctive citrus character that really can remind you of lemon candy.
👌Flavor: sweet, citrusy, aromatic and intensely flavored.

🥭 Coconut Cream

One of the most unusual mango flavor profiles. Coconut Cream has rich, creamy flesh with a noticeable coconut-like character. It's a mango, but your taste buds may argue otherwise.
👌Flavor: rich, creamy, sweet, with coconut notes.
💡 The flavor is incredible - but the tree itself is another story.
Coconut Cream has a crazy, sprawling growth habit and can turn into a landscaping nightmare if you let it do whatever it wants. Keep an eye on it and prune regularly to maintain a manageable shape. A little extra work, perhaps, but when it comes to taste, this one can beat just about everybody.

🥭 Carrie

Carrie is an old favorite that still holds its own against much newer cultivars. The soft, fiberless flesh has a powerful aroma and deep, classic mango flavor. Some people absolutely adore it.
👌Flavor: rich, aromatic, resinous and intensely "mango."

🥭 Orange Sherbet

Here's another mango with a name that gives away the experience. Orange Sherbet is intensely sweet and citrusy, with orange-like notes and smooth flesh.
👌Flavor: very sweet, orange-citrus, rich and aromatic.

🥭 Pineapple Pleasure

This one lives up to the name. Pineapple Pleasure is intensely sweet and tropical, with a noticeable pineapple-like flavor mixed into the mango richness. There is a bright, slightly tangy edge that keeps all that sweetness from becoming too heavy. If you like mangoes with a strong personality rather than just plain sugar-sweet fruit, this is a fun one.
👌 Flavor: very sweet, rich and tropical, with bright pineapple notes and a touch of tang.

✅ So which mango tastes best?

That's the dangerous question!
✓ Choose Sweet Tart for a sweet-and-tangy punch.
✓ Try Lemon Zest for lemony citrus notes.
✓ Choose Coconut Cream if you want something completely different.
✓ Pick Pineapple Pleasure for a sweet tropical punch with pineapple notes.
✓ Try Carrie for deep, old-fashioned mango flavor.
✓ And pick Orange Sherbet if sweet orange-citrus sounds irresistible.

These aren't the only great-tasting mangoes. Not even close.
With hundreds of cultivars in the mango world, we're simply picking a few standout varieties with distinctive flavors and long-standing reputations among mango enthusiasts.
The real solution? Plant more than one and conduct your own taste test.
