Jinhuang Mangoes

Jinhuang Mangoes

The Jinhuang mango was developed by Mr. Huang Jin-huang of nearby Liouguei and is known as the “King of Mangoes“. The big fruit is papaya-shaped and weighs about 1.2 kilograms, has a thin pit, aromatic taste, a high degree of sweetness and it lacks fiber, making it one of the most popular fruits. The season for Jinhuang mangoes is May to August; during this period the quality is the best. One should choose fruit with an orange to yellow-green color. Fruit farmers will pick the harvest in advance when they are close to mature, and accelerate the ripening after selling in the market. Taoyuan Township promotes more refined agricultural skills, and every year will hold a competition with an evaluation of Jinhuang mangoes, assessing their color, weight, sweetness, etc. Visitors should choose the Jinhuang mango, and Taoyuan Township is the best choice for quality!
