Biyuko Mangoes
Philippines is a tropical country. We are famous because of our amazing beaches as well as the fruits. 

Here in the Philippines, we have wide selection of mangoes.  The Guimaras mangoes which is said to be the queen of all mango and the sweetest of all when riped. We have Indian mango, which is good when unripe dip in salt or fish paste and the most common in some province backyard tree. The zambales mangoes which is the best in Luzon. The Bulacan mangoes which also promise the sugar sweetness. There are other mangoes based on the region but these are the top ranked here in the Metro.


Mangoes are also classified in different type. The first one is the Carabao mango which is the the that Philippine is popular in terms of export quality. This is the bulgy, heart shaped and the yellowing mango of all. The next one is the Piko, which is not so popular but this is good when it is unripe and it has  orange like color when riped. The other is the mango-apple which tastes like medicine and has red and green color of skin.
