Irwin Mango: The Nectar of Summer

When it comes to Taiwan’s representative summer fruit, Irwin mango is definitely number one in many people’s hearts. Every bite delivers abundant juice and rich fragrance, making you cannot help but close your eyes and savor this moment of bliss.

Why Called Irwin

The Irwin mango is named after Dr. Irwin, an American horticulturist. Introduced from the United States to Taiwan in 1954, it thrived under the climatic conditions of Tainan’s Yujing area, becoming the epitome of Taiwan mangoes.

Origin and Quality

Taiwan’s Irwin mango is mainly produced in Tainan, Kaohsiung, and Pingtung regions, with Yujing Mango being the most famous. Local farmers practice sustainable cultivation without herbicides, allowing mangoes to grow in their most natural environment.

Selection and Storage

Choose fruits that are plump, skin smooth without spots, and emit a natural fragrance. Let ripen at room temperature until the skin releases a slight aroma, then refrigerate for about 5-7 days.

Creative Recipes

Beyond enjoying as sliced fruit, Irwin mangoes can be made into mango cake, mango ice cream, mango salad, and more — adding unlimited flair to your summer table.
