In Bali, the apple mango season brings a burst of tropical delight typically from November to March. These mangoes, medium to large in size, exhibit a unique round to ovate shape with gently curved ends, setting them apart from regular mango varieties. The apple mangoes in Bali are known for their exquisite taste, a harmonious blend of sweetness and slight tartness, creating a memorable flavor profile.
Unlike regular mangoes, the apple mango stands out with its thinner and smoother skin, giving it a distinct texture and a light, waxy feel. The fruits weigh between 280 to 580 grams, making them ideal for both snacking and culinary creations. As the season unfolds, the vibrant markets of Bali showcase these mangoes at their peak, drawing locals and tourists alike to indulge in the tropical goodness. The apple mango season not only marks a time of abundance but also a unique opportunity to savor a variety that stands out for its taste, texture, and visual appeal.
