What\u2019s mouth-wateringly delicious, great for breakfast or brunch, and is as golden as the late summer sun? Mmmmm\u2026mangoes, of course!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

You\u2019d be forgiven for thinking mango season was over. After all, these exotic yellow fruits drip with the sweetness of summer. But the truth is, South Africa\u2019s late harvest mangoes are available until the end of March, meaning you still have time to indulge in all their tantalising goodness.<\/p>\n

There are four cultivars available at this time of year: Kent, Keitt, Sensation and Heidi.<\/p>\n

Kent and Keitt mangoes remain predominantly green even when ripe; to check for ripeness the flesh will \u2018give\u2019 slightly when lightly squeezed. Although mostly green as well, Sensation has a purple blush that turns red when ripe, while Heidi mangoes are yellow and red, which deepen in colour as they ripen.<\/p>\n

The flavours of these cultivars range from subtly sweet and fragrant to honey sweet with that distinctive, floral mango aroma. This makes these late season delights perfect for breakfast with a tropical touch.<\/p>\n

As if you needed another reason to tuck into marvellous mangoes, they\u2019re high in vitamins A and C, biotin and the mineral potassium, and are a source of vitamins B1 and B6. Mangoes are also free from fat, sodium and cholesterol.<\/p>\n

Our go-to recipe this season is Mango Flapjacks topped with toasted almonds. Quick and easy to prepare, finely chopped mango is stirred into a traditional crumpet batter, dollops of which are pan fried over medium heat. The browned flapjacks are served with coconut yoghurt, honey and toasted almonds.<\/p>\n
