Product Name: Zill Mango (Hongmang No.6 / Jilu Mango)
Description:
Zill Mango, known in China as Hongmang No.6 (Red Mango No.6) or Jilu Mango, is a premium mango variety originating from Florida, USA. It was introduced to China in 1984 through the South Subtropical Crops Research Institute from Australia and has since become a popular mid-to-late season variety in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, and Sichuan (Panzhihua). The variety is prized for its striking red coloration, smooth fiber-free flesh, and high yield potential.
A Mango That Delivers on Color and Quality:
The defining feature of Zill Mango is its vibrant red skin. When fully ripe, the fruit develops a deep red to purplish-red blush covering over 90% of the surface under adequate sunlight, creating a visually stunning appearance that commands attention on the shelf. Inside, the flesh is deep yellow to orange-yellow, fine-textured, and remarkably smooth – virtually free of fiber, making it exceptionally pleasant to eat.
Flavor & Sweetness:
Zill Mango delivers a sweet, aromatic flavor with very low acidity. Soluble solids content ranges from 14% to 18% Brix, with total acid as low as 0.11%, creating a pure, clean sweetness that is highly appealing. The flesh is juicy and tender, with a rich, fragrant aroma that is often described as "fragrant and refreshing".
