Mangoes to us mean summer, sunshine and long light evenings serenaded by kookaburras. With the Australian Mango Season from September – February this is the best time to make the most of your juicy Mangoes. They are quick and easy to prepare, bursting with nutritional value and there are a range of varieties to be enjoyed all season long. But best of all, mangoes are versatile; delicious as a healthy snack on their own, perfectly pared with chicken or prawn, refreshing drinks, smoothies or sweet desserts.
