Blue-Mango Fruit plant and Tree

Exotic Flora now offers the most colourful mango, the Blue Mango. Here are some interesting facts about it...

The Blue mango variety is one of the most eye-catching varieties of the Mangifera family, and it’s imported from Vietnam. It grows on regular mango plants.

Blue mangoes are start out green and as they mature; the smooth skin begins to take on a sturdy hue and turns a deep blue like near purple colour. It has an orange flesh that is sweetly aromatic.

It’s flesh is a medium orange colour with some small fibre near the seed, but not too stringy. The perfect colour will come if we cover the fruit with a paper bag for a few days.

When the fruit is covered in a paper bag before it ripens, it will expose its colourful side to the sun. If the fruit is covered like this, the taste of the fruit will be sweet and the colour will be perfect.
