   As we swing into high gear of the mango season, we at Fresh King would like to share with you some exciting facts regarding our Drippy Elbow-Banana Mango variety. We hope that the name alone conjures up visions of just how juicy and sweet they are. Just think of the most luscious peach you have ever eaten, but with a delightful tropical twist!!!
    Our Drippy Elbow-Banana Mangos are grown in the mountains of the Caribbean, hand picked, loaded into burlap sacks and brought down to our packing house by pack mules. There we pre-cool and grade all of the mangos by hand. They are then packed and shipped to us, at our packing plant in Homestead, FL. The final step is when we re-grade and repack them to ensure top quality. Our Drippy Elbow-Banana Mangoes are available February through September.
Next, we would like to give you some ripening information. Our Banana Mango starts out an even light green color. The mango starts turning a yellowish color as it ripens. Hence the name "Banana Mango". As with the banana, some brown freckles and rub marks (from the burlap bags) will appear. This becomes more prominent as the ripening process continues. Don't worry about it, it's normal and won't affect the quality or edibility. When the mango has turned golden yellow and gives slightly to the touch, it is fully ripe. A little wrinkling is also normal.
   You are now ready to enjoy the sweetest, most luscious mango you have ever sunk your teeth into. Enjoy and remember at Fresh King, we strive for the utmost quality and want to help keep "America Strong & Healthy!"
