Mangoes of Goa cover the largest area under fruit crops in Goa that exist in a large number of varieties. The different species available in the state indicate the support extended to the mango by the Portuguese. The following are some of the species of mangoes available in Goa:

Mankurad
Also known as Goa Mankur, Kurad, Malcorado, Corado etc, this is the most popular variety that is available throughout Goa. It has a long history of cultivation and is known exclusively as a table fruit. The Portuguese named it Malcorado meaning poor coloured and in time this word transformed to Mankurad.

Malgesh
This version also known as Malgesta, Malgessa, Malgueso and Malgess is popular in North Goa with a variation in fruit colour, size and quality. The name means difficult to digest in Portuguese and the fruit is used as a table fruit. The two types recognised are Khand Malgesh - a thick skinned inferior quality and Akno Malgesh - a superior quality.

Culas
This variety popular throughout Goa is used exclusively as a table fruit. Many people like its peculiar flavor which is tangy and not very sweet. A lot of variation exists in this variety.

The mango is available in the market towards the end of May and is known as a table fruit of mediocre quality. According to legend the name of the mango is inspired by the large belly of a bishop!
