Duncan (mango)

The Duncan mango is a variety of mango originating in South Florida. It is a medium to large-sized fruit, typically weighing between one and two pounds. Duncan mangoes are characterized by their oval shape, green skin (which may develop a slight yellow blush as it ripens), and fiberless flesh. The flesh is a rich, deep yellow color and has a sweet, slightly tangy flavor with a hint of spice.

Duncan mango trees are known for their vigorous growth and productivity. They are considered a late-season mango, typically ripening from July to September in South Florida. While not as widely commercially grown as some other varieties like Tommy Atkins or Kent, the Duncan is favored by many home growers and local markets due to its excellent flavor and texture.

The Duncan mango is primarily eaten fresh. Its lack of fiber makes it particularly suitable for slicing, dicing, and blending. It can be used in salads, smoothies, desserts, and other culinary applications.

The Duncan mango is sometimes confused with other green-skinned mango varieties, but its distinctive flavor and texture set it apart.
