Pineapple Pleasure Mango

Pineapple Pleasure Mango – Where Tropical Luxury Meets Citrus Wonder

Botanical Name: Mangifera indica
Common Name: Pineapple Pleasure Mango

An Exotic Jewel Born of Florida’s Mango Legacy

The Pineapple Pleasure Mango is a modern hybrid cultivar hailing from the renowned mango breeding program in Boynton Beach, Florida. A genetic cross between ‘Gary’ and ‘Springfels’—both cherished varieties developed by Gary Zill—this mango offers an unmatched flavor experience and is rapidly finding a place in curated tropical gardens around the world.

Known not only for its taste but also for its desirable growth traits, this mango is now spreading its roots beyond Florida, with enthusiasts from India, the Philippines, and South Africa recognizing its unique charm.

Flavor That Awakens the Tropics

The name Pineapple Pleasure is no exaggeration.

• Its taste mirrors a delicate blend of pineapple’s tang and mango’s sweetness

• Slight citrusy hints add a refreshing brightness

• Completely fiberless, making it a smooth indulgence

• Best enjoyed chilled, sliced, or in fresh tropical fruit bowls

This mango is not overpoweringly sweet, making it a favorite even among those who prefer a more balanced fruit profile.

Health-Rich and Nutrition-Loaded

The Pineapple Pleasure mango isn’t just a treat—it’s a nutritional ally.

• Rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin A – immune-boosting and good for skin and vision

• Contains natural digestive enzymes like amylase

• High in antioxidants, helpful in reducing oxidative stress

• Provides essential minerals like potassium and magnesium
