This mango, which is very popular in Japan, has a soft texture, fragrant aroma, and very juicy flesh. Mangoes usually weigh more than 350 grams and have a sugar content of 15 percent or higher.

Mango is popular because of its appearance and color which differs from the common mango varieties popular in India and Southeast Asia. The fruit is reported to be ruby in color. This mango is also known as the "Sun Egg."

These mangoes are planted during peak harvest between April and August. Miyazaki mangoes undergo rigorous inspection and testing before being exported throughout the island nation. The fruit that passes the highest quality standards, is called the "Sun Egg".

These mangoes are often fiery red in color and shaped like dinosaur eggs. The world's most expensive mango is usually used as a gift for special occasions or as a special treat.
