The ‘Shwehintha’ mango, also known as ‘Raw Honey’ in Florida, is a highly regarded variety originating from Myanmar. It is one of about 200 mango varieties native to Myanmar, alongside others like Seintalone and Padamya Ngamauk. This mango is characterized by its bright yellow skin and exceptionally sweet, fiberless yellow flesh. Its flavor profile is often described as a blend between Indochinese and Thai varieties, with a rich sweetness, a touch of tartness, and a hint of lemony candy. An interesting fact about the Shwehintha mango is how it earned its ‘Raw Honey’ moniker in Florida, reflecting its rich and sweet flavor upon import.
