Elephant Mango is no longer a strange name to Vietnamese people and is a favorite and easy-to-grow mango variety in many provinces across the country, especially in Binh Dinh.
Elephant Mango weighs averagely 0.5 - 1kg each, and is very large compared to other mango varieties – hence the name "elephant" (meaning as big as an elephant).
The shape of the fruit is large, tapering down and slightly curved at the end. The mango skin cannot be penetrated by insects, so it is green and attractive. The fruit is fragrant but tastes a little sour when unripe. If the fruit is fully ripe, the taste is cool and sweet. Mango flesh is quite firm, not mushy even when over-ripe.
Elephant mango has small seeds, less fiber and less watery. Thanks to nature’s privilege, this variety of mango has very high yield and quality.
