Summer is synonymous with mango season in Hawaii, and lately, mangoes seem to be everywhere I look — when it comes to food, at least. The popular fruit can have a long harvest season — it can start in May and end in October — with July being its peak month. There are more than 60 types of mangos in Hawaii; Pirie and Haden are among the most popular. These fruits are known for being sweet and delicious, but they’re also chockfull of health benefits (they’re high in vitamin A, contain immune-boosting nutrients and support heart health). Here are some refreshing ways to satisfy that mango craving — and keep cool — this summer.

Toast

Haawi Toast & Tea, one of the vendors at the Kakaako farmers market (919 Ala Moana Blvd.) on Saturdays, is known for its sweet and savory toasts. A seasonal favorite is its mango toast ($7), which is currently made with Haden mangoes. For updates, follow the business on Instagram (@haawitoastandtea).

Pie

Mango Delight pie ($26) is especially popular during the summer months at Hawaiian Pie Co. (508 Waiakamilo Road). This fl avor is a twist on the bakery’s classic mango pie. It features a creamy mango filling — complete with mango fruit — and is topped with a butter cookie crumble. This fl avor is also available in a mini pie ($7).

Rice yogurt

Mango rice yogurt is one of the top five most popular flavors at Yomie’s Hawaii (1450 Ala Moana Blvd.).

Acai

The “Layers of Paradise” from Wahiawa-based Maluawai Café (1680 Wilikina Drive) is its bestseller. The refreshing treat ($10-$12) features layers of açaí and mango mousse, and it’s topped with powdered milk, granola and condensed milk. “We allow our mango mousse to freeze just enough so that it stays at a similar texture as the açaí,” explains business owner Keale Lemos. “The Layers of Paradise is one of specialties, and we have the mango flavor all year long.” Follow the biz on Instagram (@maluawaicafe) to learn more.

Shave ice

MW Restaurant (888 Kapiolani Blvd.) features a seasonal shave ice dessert, and Makaha mango shave ice ($14) is currently available. Pastry chef/co-owner Michelle Karr-Ueoka changes the mangoes used for the shave ice based on their optimal ripeness and sweetness. For example, she started with Mapulehu and then transitioned to white Pirie mangoes. The refreshing dessert includes kafi r lemongrass panna cotta, haupia tapioca, mango sorbet and shaved mangoes.
