Tommy Atkins (mango)

Tommy Atkins is the most important mango cultivar in global tradeFact|date=February 2007. Although generally not considered to be the best in terms of sweetness and flavor, it is valued for its long shelf life and tolerance of handling and transportation with little or no bruising or degradation. This means it is the main mango sold in regions where mangoes have to be imported, comprising about 80% of mangoes sold in the United Kingdom and United States, apart from growing regions in Hawaii and Florida.
