Tommy Atkins Mango

Tommy Atkins is one of the most widely grown commercial mango varieties in the world, known for its long shelf life, firm texture, and attractive color. While not as rich in flavor as some premium varieties, its reliability, durability, and productivity make it a popular choice for shipping and large-scale production. The fruit has a firm, mildly sweet flesh with moderate fibers, making it suitable for fresh eating, slicing, and commercial sales.
