Case of Ripe Organic California Keitt Mangos

These mangoes are at peak ripeness and should be refrigerated and used within a few days. They're perfect for eating fresh, making a huge batch of mango salsa, slicing and dehydrating, or cubing and freezing.

The skin of the Keitt remains green when ripe, but should begin to give slightly to gentle pressure. It has a honey-like sweetness, with none of those annoying strings attached to the pit of other varieties. Unlike almost all imported mangoes (besides a few growing in one small region of Mexico), CA-grown mangoes are untreated, meaning that they haven't been put into a hot water bath (generally 115°F for 75-110 minutes, which some studies suggest can have negative effects on fruit flavor and aroma).

These Mangos are grown in the Coachella Valley, packed and shipped by Corona-College Heights Orange and Lemon Association in Riverside Co., CA. and brought to us by our friends and neighbors at Earl's Organic Produce.
