Tommy Atkins (mango)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the Mangoes cultivar. For other uses, see Tommy.
Tommy Atkins is the most important Mangoes cultivar in global trade. Although generally not considered to be the best in terms of sweetness and flavour, it is valued for its long shelf life and tolerance of handling and transportation with little or no bruising or degradation. This means it is the main mango sold in regions where mangos have to be imported, comprising about 80% of the mangos sold in e.g. the United Kingdom, and in the United States away from growing regions in Hawaii and Florida.
