A Mango with History
Like many mango varieties, all across the globe, the Keitt mango plant has humble beginnings. It was first grown in 1939 when Mrs. J.N. Keitt planted a seed in her backyard in her house in Florida. From that single tree, the popularity of the Keitt mango tree spread across the tropics- all thanks to the unmatched flavor and scent. The same is why, today, you can find mango Keitt growing in multiple parts of the world, including Mexico, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Puerto Rico, and parts of South America.
Seasonality: Don’t Miss Out
The peak season for Keitt mangos is short, running from July through September. This makes them one of the most anticipated summer varieties. Their large size is another hallmark, with some growing to weigh nearly five pounds each. If your supermarket doesn’t carry them, find these at Dolce Frutti- Fresh, flavorful and bursting with mouth watering flavor,
