Tainong

From: Market Man, 27th June, 2007: Stunning reddish-orange skinned mangoes. Labelled as Tainong, it hails from Taiwan or Southern China. This mango had one of the most striking mango2colorations with deep greens, reds and burgundies on the thick, smooth and unblemished skin. This variety is native to Taiwan. These were visually stunning and a beautiful aesthetic addition to any tropical fruit basket. After letting it sit at room temperature for a few days, cut it open to reveal a dense orange-yellow flesh. With an apple-mango flavor as well, it was a bit fibrous and the flavor a bit watered down. It was good. But definitely nowhere near a potential replacement for Carabao mangoes.
