The mango nectarine has a delicious case of multiple personalities. It has the taste of a mango, the color and shape of a golden plum.

Luckily for fruit lovers, this California-grown treat – no relation to the mango, despite its name – is a wonderful combination of flavor and texture.

Sadly, it has a short season. The fruit just started heading to markets late last week, according to Robert Schueller, spokesman for Melissa’s World Variety Produce in California, which distributes the fruit nationwide. He says mango nectarine season should last until the beginning of August.
