📝 Description

What is this product?

Mango Keitt is a premium variety of mango known for its smooth texture, rich sweetness, and vibrant yellow-green skin. Unlike most mangoes, the Keitt variety remains green even when ripe, making it easy to identify by touch and aroma rather than color. It has a fiberless, juicy pulp with a delightful tropical flavor and a hint of citrus, making it ideal for eating fresh, blending in smoothies, or using in desserts. Naturally rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and antioxidants, the Keitt mango promotes skin health, digestion, and immunity. This late-season mango variety is loved for its long shelf life and exceptional taste.

🌍 Origin

The Keitt mango variety originated in Florida, USA in the early 20th century and is now cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. It is widely grown in Saudi Arabia, India, Mexico, and Egypt, where warm climates help produce its signature large, juicy fruits. Locally harvested Keitt mangoes are handpicked at their perfect ripeness to ensure sweetness, smoothness, and high nutritional quality.
