Know your Puerto Vallarta Mangos in Season

Published on

Mango season in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico generally peaks from late April to mid-July. While mangoes can be found year-round, the sweetest and tastiest mangoes are typically available during this peak season

What is mango season in Mexico?

Mexico has one of the longest mango export seasons in the world, spanning nearly 10 months as production moves north along the Pacific Rim. The harvest begins in the south in late January or early February in Oaxaca and Chiapas. As the season progresses, it moves through Michoacán and Nayarit, concluding in the northern part of Sinaloa, known as Los Mochis.

What are the best mangoes in Mexico?
Ataulfo: This sweet and sour yellow cultivar is one of Mexico’s most popular. It’s sometimes called the Honey mango and has a peachy aroma with smooth, firm flesh. They’re small, but so is the pit, so there’s still a decent amount of flesh to get stuck into.

The Ataúlfo mangoes originate in the Mexican states of Michoacan, Sinaloa, Nayarit, Jalisco, Veracruz and Chiapas, and are sold between March and September. Ataúlfo production was concentrated in the Soconusco coastal region.

Each region’s climate influences not only the availability, flavor, and quality of mango cultivars but also farmers’ planting decisions. In the humid-tropical south, Ataulfos thrive—no surprise, as they originate from Chiapas. Tommy Atkins, the most adaptable of the round mangoes, is pretty much the only round mango in the south. It does well in all regions and is planted predominantly because it withstands the hot water bath.

Some Kents appear at the tail end of the season in Oaxaca, and more growers are experimenting with specialty varieties like Kiew Savoy, Nam Doc Mai, and Mallika. These varieties are showing promise, but reliable data remains limited, especially as shifting climate patterns continue to reshape growing conditions and outcomes. Everyone is positive though.

What are the 7 benefits of mango?

Immunity Boosting Powerhouse.
Digestive Health Champion.
Skin and Hair Transformation.
Weight Management Ally.
Eye Health Guardian.
Heart Health Protector.
Helps Regulate Blood Sugar Levels.

Why not eat mango at night?
In these cases, eating mango at night may increase blood glucose levels, leading to disrupted sleep patterns. We mentioned earlier that you shouldn’t eat mangoes too close to bedtime. Otherwise, you may experience acid reflux, bloating or gas.

Magos are anti-inflamatory
Mango polyphenols and gut-derived phenolics may influence the gut microbiome and interact with both gut and liver enzyme systems, including CYP and LOX, to inhibit inflammatory oxylipins

Consumer education is key. This is something need to be spearheading for several seasons, both on the culinary side and in broader commodity education.

The Crespo’s have been developing a range of specialty varieties in his trial line which we will continue to present in our opulent Mango Queen line, alongside our existing three specialty varietals (Mallika, Nam Doc Mai and Kiew Savoy). New varietals will roll out at different points of the season as we refine the hot water bathing process for each and gain deeper insights into their cultivation.

Despite crops in various growing regions, we will continue to have a focus on peak summer, when demand is at its highest and consumers are more open to trying new things. This strategic timing helps mitigate the risks of introducing new varieties, a process that requires patience, learning, and commitment from those of us at the heart of it.

To shift back to the broader Mexican season— as it progresses northward through Guerrero, Michoacán, Jalisco, Nayarit, and Sinaloa, the availability of varieties changes. On the organic side, Guerrero and Jalisco contribute little to no volume, while Michoacán’s production continues to decline each year.

Historically, Michoacán was known for its abundant Haden mangoes (my personal favorite), but their prevalence has diminished, likely due to climate change making this already small mango even smaller—think 12/14cnts. For the organic market, these sizes translate to lower returns for growers, prompting many to transition to Kent and Tommy Atkins of the last several years.

In the northern regions of Nayarit and Sinaloa, Kent and Tommy Atkins are equally prolific. Nayarit is the first major organic-producing region where Kents appear, usually around late May, (aside from a small amount in Oaxaca). However, timing has become harder to predict due to shifting climate patterns affecting fruit readiness. The last several years of the transition north has caused a lot of problems for all of us.

Keitt mangos have some availability in early March, reach peak availability mid-March through early April, have some availability in mid-April through late-July, peak availability August through September, and some availability October through December.

Keitt mangoes are widely recognized (and coveted) , but their role as a late-season varietal is less understood. They appear at the tail end of each regions harvest, and in Mexico peak production happens in Nayarit and Sinaloa. Because these regions’ seasons overlap, it can seem like Keitts are more abundant than they actually are. In reality, three distinct harvest waves occur in a short time frame, marking the final stage of each region’s production. Since Keitts typically follow Kents, they are known as the mangoes that close out both regional harvests and the Mexican season as a whole.

The Mexican mango season typically concludes in mid to late September, sometimes extending all the way into October, with the northernmost region of Los Mochis in Sinaloa (a non-hot water bath zone) providing the final harvests. This entire northward progression of the Mexican crop ensures a continuous supply of fresh mangoes, each variety bringing its unique flavor and texture to the table, but each varietal limited to a specific time/region in the season as a whole!

Is mango a male or female?
The flowers open over a period of a few days and the full bloom period (defined by the blooms being fully opened) lasts only a few more days. Mango trees produce flowers that are both male and female, making them monecious (which means they can self-pollinate and cross-pollinate).
