Tommy Atkins mangoes are a medium to large sized mango variety weighing up to two pounds each. They are broadly oval shaped with a green skin almost always covered with a dark red blush with occasional orange or yellow accents. The smooth skin is covered with small, yellow-green lenticels (pores) that appear like freckles. The skin is thick, protecting the firm, deep yellow flesh during shipping. Tommy Atkins mangoes are juicy, with a somewhat fibrous flesh, and a mildly sweet taste. The fruit must be lightly squeezed to determine ripeness.
Tommy Atkins mangoes are a Florida variety of Mangifera indica. While not necessarily the tastiest variety, they became popular among mango growers in Florida in the 1950s as a replacement for the disease-prone haden mangoes. The larger Tommy Atkins mangoes are considered to be visually attractive, and have highly productive and long shelf-life – strong factors in commercial appeal. Today, the Tommy Atkins mango is the most extensively planted commercial cultivar in the Americas.
Tommy Atkins mangoes are available year-round with a peak season in the late spring and through the summer months.
