Oh, Lilinda, I am from Saskatchewan, I hope I live in Toronto:) hehehe...anyways,
Mango is our national fruit in the Philippines, and I've seen different kinds of mango in the Philippines, in fact, the sweetest mango that you can find in the world can be found in the Philippines, however, I don't know the names of the different kinds of mangoes, in English.
There are two principal types of mangos: Indian and Indochinese. Varieties of the Indian type typically have monoembryonic (single embryo) seeds, highly colored fruit and are subject to anthracnose disease. Those of the Indochinese type have polyembryonic seeds (multiple embryos), and fruit usually lacking in coloration, but they may have some resistance to anthracnose. There are some varieties, however, that do not fit clearly into either group.
I searched this for you: I hope this helps:Varietal choices in Texas are limited. More common commercial varieties include 'Haden', a red and yellow fruit of about a pound and quarter that matures in June; 'Irwin', a red mango of just under a pound that matures in June; 'Tommy Atkins', a red and yellow fruit comparable to 'Haden' in size and maturity; 'Kent', a green, red and yellow mango of about a pound and a half in size that matures in July; and 'Keitt', a green and pink mango of a pound and half that matures in August.
Other varieties may be equally acceptable; for example, 'Julie' and 'Manila' are probably of better eating quality than the more brightly-colored commercial types.
Thanks:)

I like banana because banana is good for health especially the digest system. This is true and have been proven long time a go. Beside this, banana can make me feel more energetic as it contain high glucose content and it really taste good. In my country Malaysia, banana is very cheap and can be the cheapest fruit in the market.

I am sure bananas in Malaysia taste much better than here where we have to import them. I bet mangos also taste much better and you get some variety
