As the days get warmer, it’s a clear sign that summer is just around the corner. And what's an Aussie summer without sinking your teeth into luscious fruits like mangoes?

It’s a tradition that officially ushers in the sunny season—offering a taste of sunshine exactly when we need it most.

So, with Woolworths’ mango shake-up creating a stir, we’re thrilled to spill the juicy details!

Woolworths recently announced its new mango range just in time for summer.

The supermarket giant is rolling out a new variety of mangoes, Maha Bliss, featuring tiny, skinny seeds—a welcome change for Aussies who know the struggle of getting more seed than flesh.

The Maha Bliss seed, originating from Thailand but now grown in Darwin, is now available exclusively at Woolworths.

Maha Bliss mangoes are now stocked in all stores across NSW, SA, and Victoria, as well as most locations in Queensland.

‘Nothing says Australian summer like a juicy Australian-grown mango, and customers will be excited to see them starting to pop up in their local stores,’ Woolworths’ Director of Fruit & Veg Paul Turner said.

‘While people are very familiar with Kensington Pride and Calypso mangoes, we actually have a dozen varieties of mango on offer over the season, including the lesser-known Maha Bliss.’

‘Maha Bliss looks a little bit different, like a long mango, however, the unexpected twist is actually their incredibly thin seed, which means customers get more flesh for their buck.’

Woolworths now offers 12 mango varieties, including favourites like Calypso, Kensington Pride, R2E2, and the new addition, Maha Bliss.

Woolworths mangoes come exclusively from over 120 local Australian growers, ensuring a bountiful supply of top-notch produce nationwide.

For a confident mango-picking experience, Woolworths' Mango team provided a brief checklist:

• Don't rely on colour; some, like Brooks, are ripe when green.
• Judge by feel and smell; ripe mangoes have a slightly fruity scent.
• Choose heavy ones for juicy fruit.
• Watch out for wrinkles or shrivelled mangoes; they might be overripe.
• Small or odd-shaped mangoes taste great too.
• Don't mind marks; they're only skin-deep and won't affect the sweet flesh inside!

There was a Brisbane racehorse back in the 1980s called Mango Muncher. Just saying....

yummmmy I love Mango's, but I can only eat a very small piece at a time, due to its very high sugar content.

From the Racing and Sport website:

Mango Muncher is a thoroughbred horse born in Australia in 1987. Race horse Mango Muncher is by Pacific Ruler (AUS) out of Spacious Lady (AUS) , trained by Alan Gillespie. Mango Muncher form is available here. Owned by Mrs J & A I Gillespie.

Yes, as one member just said unfortunately mangoes are full of fructose and certain other sugars (as are most fruits apart from berries which are probably the lowest). If you are diabetic or pre-diabetic best to avoid these sorts of foods altogether. Even in moderation or every once in a while, is not what a diabetic person ought to be doing, particularly as we got older. So yes, I think they are lovely too, but that's the facts.

The main thing for me is going to be the cost

I'll check out the price at L & H Fresh on the Princes Highway, Dandenong. They're quite cheap and I get a 5 kg bag of South Australian washed potatoes for $2.99. Bargain! Only 500 metres from home.

I'll get back to you later with a price.

The mangos they grow in Vietnam are the best mangoes I have ever eaten, the have a curve and firm fruit but smaller in size then aussie mangoes. I did buy them from a small fruit shop in Buderim but they closed down and no one else sells them.

I watch a lot of cooking shows on the food channel etc. and a lot of famous chefs around the world swear by Vietnamese mangos.
