Beautiful and sweet, mango Haden seems to come straight from heaven
Looking for a beautiful yellow-red mango with a peachy flavor and sweet as honey? You'll love our Haden mango, tree-ripened and sourced directly from a group of producers undergoing organic certification in Mexico.
The Haden variety is a medium-sized mango, about 3 mangoes per kg.
It has a particularly sweet taste and reminds of the flowery aroma of a peach. It is very slightly fibrous.
The color is yellow with bright red and green shades and small white or black spots. The flesh is yellow-orange, a sign of its richness in carotenoids.
A few decades ago, it was the most cultivated and sought-after mango in the world. Unfortunately, it is now quite difficult to find because Haden is more difficult to cultivate than other varieties.
At Jurassic Fruit we offer you top quality: pesticide-free, ethically and sustainably grown and harvested at the peak of its flavor.

Main nutrients of mango
Mango is rich in:
- vitamin B9: provides 35.10% of the RDA, i.e. 70.20 µg per 100 g

- vitamin A (carotenoid family): provides 18% of the RDA, i.e. 144 µg per 100 g. Mango is the 5th fruit with the highest β-carotene content (Ciqual 2020 table)

Good to know, mango contains two main types of phytonutrients with antioxidant effects:
- carotenoids, contained in large quantities in the pulp, which give it its beautiful yellow to orange color
- polyphenols, contained mainly in the skin and core
Mango contains several polyphenols with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, protecting against cell degeneration.
To make the most of its polyphenols, and in particular mangiferin (often offered as a dietary supplement because of its many benefits on its own), we recommend that you scrape off the pulp in contact with the fruit's skin and stone. You can use a knife or your teeth to scrape the pulp.
Some mango varieties have a pleasant skin to eat - these are generally the ones with the lowest polyphenol content.
