Dave's Pick of the Week - KP Mangoes
My pick for the week is definitely Northern Territory Kensington Pride mangoes. To me, these KPs are the best eating mango of the year. It has been a very good season so far however, the season is running a little later than normal so prices have been somewhat stronger than usual for the October long weekend. We have large quantities of fruit now coming from Darwin and surrounding areas then towards the end of next week we have a gap before we commence the Katherine fruit - arguably the best fruit of the year. Look forward to beautiful eating fruit over the next few weeks.
With the warmer weather coming later in the week, it’s time to think about purchasing a tray. They are not down to the magic $20.00 ticket just yet but still represent great value. There are other mangoes that look better than KPs but to me, these are what we love to eat. It's a soft mango with golden flesh and they will be in full swing from now through to mid-January. They then continue until late March but in far lesser quantities.
