Meaning
A small, very sweet Jamaican mango variety with one of the most charming names in the whole roll of mangoes — 'sweetie-come-brush-me', the name itself a little burst of affection for how irresistibly sweet it is. Little and honey-sweet, it is eaten by the handful in season, and the playful name is a fine example of the fond, poetic way Jamaicans have of naming the things of the land, above all their beloved mangoes.
