About Glenn
Glenn is a highly popular, premium international mango variety that originated in Florida, USA, in the early 20th century. It is a seedling of the Haden mango and has become widely cultivated across Central and South America (LATAM) due to its excellent taste and disease resistance.
The fruit is medium-large, weighing between 350 and 450 grams, with a symmetrical oval-round shape. When fully ripe, the thin, smooth skin turns a bright yellow, accented by a beautiful reddish-orange blush on the side exposed to the sun.
The orange pulp is completely fiberless, offering a soft, melting, and creamy mouthfeel. The taste is mildly sweet and pleasant, characterized by a rich, tropical, peach-like aroma. Glenn harvests in mid-summer (June and July).

🩺 Safety & Quality Inspection Guide
Quick reference for identifying common healthy vs. problematic conditions:
Pro Tip: Surface spots like Anthracnose are often harmless to the fruit inside, while Bacterial Canker or Stem-end Rot usually require discarding the fruit.
