Mango sweets aren’t just a seasonal novelty—they’re a celebration of one of the most adored fruits in human history. And on National Mango Day, marked every year on 22 July, it’s only right that the king of fruits gets the treatment it deserves. At Monmore Confectionery, we’ve long championed mango in all its sugary forms: fizzy, chewy, boiled, or bottled. Because let’s be honest—when mango is done well, it doesn’t just tick a flavour box, it defines a moment.

The History Behind National Mango Day

Mangoes have been cultivated for over 5,000 years, with roots in India, Southeast Asia and beyond. Revered in Hindu mythology and prized by Persian emperors, the mango’s global conquest has taken it from sacred symbol to supermarket staple. Today, the fruit is enjoyed by millions, and 22 July has become its official celebration—recognised by food boards, brands, and mango lovers around the world.

In the US, the National Mango Board marks the occasion with events, giveaways and mango-inspired recipes. But here at Monmore, we keep things simpler: we sell mango sweets that actually taste of mango. And we do it better than anyone else.

Monmore’s Mango Heroes

Here are just a few of the standout mango sweets we’re championing this National Mango Day:

• Hi-Chew Mango – Soft, stretchy, and dangerously addictive. These Japanese chews are dense with tropical flavour and sold in boxes of 15 x 50g. A top seller with a cult following—and for good reason.
• Mogu Mogu Mango – A drink you chew? Yes, really. This 320ml mango soft drink is loaded with chewy nata de coco (coconut jelly), offering both refreshment and bite. Available in cases of six and part of our broader Mogu Mogu range.
• Dobson’s Mango Lollies – Giant boiled lollies with a bold mango taste. These jars contain 90 vegetarian and gluten-free lollies and are ideal for traditional sweet shops or party table spreads.
• Barr Rubicon Mango – Fizzy, fruity, and unmistakably tropical. This mango soda comes in 24 x 330ml cans and remains a bestseller across the UK.
• Fruittella Mango & Peach – Gummy sweets with shaped fruity figures, combining mango and peach in every bite. Gluten free, family friendly, and part of the Fruit-Tella family.

Mango Trivia Worth Sharing

• Mangoes are the national fruit of India, Pakistan, and the Philippines.
• Over 40 million tonnes of mangoes are produced globally every year.
• The word "mango" comes from the Tamil word "mangkay" and entered English via Portuguese traders in the 15th century.
• A single mango can contain over 20 different vitamins and minerals—including hefty doses of Vitamin C and A. Not that we’re pretending sweets count as salad.
