Pineapple Pleasure is a rare Florida mango from Gary Zill's breeding program with a sweet-tart flavor and a distinct pineapple-like tang. Its juicy, smooth flesh has little fiber. On our Merritt Island trees it ripens in July.
Where does Pineapple Pleasure come from?
Tropical Acres Farms lists it as Zill planting 23-21, a cross between the Springfels and Gary mangoes, from Gary Zill's program in Boynton Beach, Florida.
What does Pineapple Pleasure taste like?
The 2025 Zill and UF/IFAS cultivar review describes a “moderately intense Indian sweet-tart flavor; acidity balanced with sweet pineapple notes.” Tropical Acres Farms reports measuring fruit in the mid-20s on the Brix (sugar) scale. In short: sweet, tangy and tropical.
How to eat it
Pineapple Pleasure is great chilled and cubed once ripe, when the tang stands out. It's also a strong pick for smoothies and salsas where you want brightness.
What else ripens in July?
July is our busiest month. Alphonso, Nam Doc Mai #4, Juicy Peach and Little Gem usually come in around the same time. See the July harvest.
Read more in our grower's guides to Little Gem, another July mango, and Sweet Tart, a June sweet-tart variety.
