The Scuppernong mango is a rare and not widely known variety, distinct from the more common Scuppernong grape. It has been noted to exist in collections such as the Tropical Research and Education Center (TREC) in Florida. This unique mango gained some attention after being tasted at the Fairchild Mango Festival, where it was described as having a surprisingly delightful flavor with a hint of muscadine aftertaste and notably, no fiber. Its limited propagation suggests it might be a seedling that has not yet achieved widespread recognition, making it a fascinating find for mango enthusiasts seeking unusual flavor profiles beyond the typical.
