Malgova or Malgoa is an important mango cultivar grown in Tamil Nadu and other parts of South India. It is a large round fruit (typically 300-500gms), it has a small stone and is very juicy and fragrant. It is generally considered to be one of the best mangoes, the "Alphonso of South India".〔http://mumbaiboss.com/2012/03/30/your-seasonal-guide-to-mangoes/〕 Its production area is centred on the districts of Salem, Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri in Tamil Nadu, as well as neighbouring parts of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. A variety that was transplanted in Florida is called Mulgoba (very likely due to a mislabelling). A strain is also grown in Malaysia.〔Richard E. Litz (ed), Mango: Botany, Production and Uses, CABI, 2009, p.10〕 The US variety is somewhat smaller, and may even be a different strain. A DNA analysis of 50 varieties of mango obtained several DNA clusters but found the Malgova to be the most distinct. == Description == The Malgova is a round mango which retains a green colour (with hints of red) when ripe. It is roundish-oblique〔 p.288〕 in shape, with a blunt apex and has a smaller lateral beak than other mangoes. For the size of fruit, the stone is small. The Florida variety is more yellowish with some crimson blush. The fiber-less flesh is yellow, soft, and has a flavor that is rich, spicy, and sweet. It contains a monoembryonic seed. It is a late-ripening mango, harvested typically around May (July/August in Florida). It has low acidity (0.11) with a pH of 4.65 The trees are vigorous growers and will grow to large sizes with spreading, open canopies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mulgoba」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
