Vietnamese mango is famous for sweetness, juiciness, and diverse varieties. These fruits are a true delight for fruit lovers. Let’s explore fresh mango from Vietnam in the following post of HAVIGO – our brand new product in 2025.

1. Varieties of Vietnamese Mango

Vietnam boasts a rich tapestry of mango varieties, each offering a unique flavor profile. Some of the most popular include:

Hoa Loc Cat Mango

The Hoa Loc Cat Mango is a renowned fruit from the Mekong Delta, known for its distinctive qualities.

• Appearance: It’s an elongated mango weighing around 350-450 grams. When ripe, the skin turns light yellow, while the flesh is a vibrant yellow, firm, smooth, and low in fiber.
  
• Taste: The Cat Mango boasts a rich and pleasant aroma. Its golden-yellow flesh is deeply sweet with no fiber, leaving a delightful aftertaste that lingers in the mouth for an hour.
  
• Versatility: Besides being enjoyed fresh, Cat Mango is also used to create various sweet treats, such as smoothies and ice cream.

Keo Mango

The Keo Mango, originating from Cambodia, is a popular choice for mango shakes due to its unique characteristics:

• Appearance: Green and round in the middle, tapering towards the tip. The tree exudes a sticky sap.
• Taste: When ripe, it turns yellow and has fibers. It’s not overly sweet, making it ideal for:
  • Mango Shakes: Its sour and crunchy flavor adds a distinct tang.
  • Salads: A prime ingredient for refreshing salads.
  • Raw Consumption: Enjoyed with shrimp paste or salt for a savory treat.

Cat Chu Mango

The Cat Chu Mango, another specialty from Cao Lanh, is distinct from the Hoa Loc Cat Chu variety.

• Appearance: It’s smaller, round at the top, and slightly elongated.
• Taste: Known for its minimal fiber, strong aroma, and a sweet yet subtle flavor. The flesh is soft and slightly chewy, melting pleasantly in the mouth with a lingering sweetness.
• Versatility: Enjoyed fresh, it’s also delicious in salads or with dipping sauces like fish sauce, sugar, and chili salt.

Tuong Mango

Tuong Mango is a large variety, with fruits reaching up to 1kg.

• Origin: Grown widely in Vietnam, but most notably in Dai An, Binh Dinh province.
• Appearance: Large and elongated.
• Consumption: Typically enjoyed unripe. Popular dishes include mango salad and dipping in fish sauce and sugar.
• Taste: Extremely crispy and fragrant with a slight sourness, milder than Keo Mango, making it a good option for those who prefer a less tart flavor.

2. Growing Regions and Seasons for Vietnamese Mango

Mangoes thrive in the warm, tropical climate of Vietnam. Major growing regions include the Mekong Delta, the Central Highlands, and the Southeast region. The mango season typically runs from March to August, with peak availability varying slightly depending on the specific variety and region.

3. Nutritional benefits of Mango

Beyond their delicious taste, Vietnamese mangoes offer a wealth of health benefits. They are an excellent source of:

• Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant that supports immune function.
• Vitamin A: Essential for maintaining healthy vision and skin.
• Fiber: Promotes digestive health and helps regulate blood sugar levels.

How to select and store Mangoes

Choosing the perfect mango is key to enjoying its full flavor. Look for mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and emit a sweet aroma. Once you’ve selected your mangoes, store them at room temperature to allow them to ripen. Once ripe, you can store them in the refrigerator for a few days.

4. Exports of Vietnamese Mango

According to statistics, Vietnam has become the 13th largest mango exporting country in the world. Vietnamese mangoes have been exported to 40 countries, including the main countries: China, Korea, Australia, Japan, Europe and New Zealand. Of which, China is the largest market accounting for 84.6%.

The good news is that the output of Vietnamese mangoes imported into the US market in recent years has grown strongly. With prices approximately twice as high as other countries.
