Colombian farmers grew the heaviest mango in the World

On the San Martín farm in Guayatá, the area of Boyacá, Colombia, two farmers, Germán Orlando Novoa Barrera and Reina Maria Marroquín, grew the heaviest mango in the World.

The weight of fruit reached 4.25 kilos (9.36 lb) and was recognized as an official Guinness World Records title. 

The last record was held in 2009 by a Philippine mango that weighed 3.435 kilos (7.57 lb).

Germán and Reina started to notice that the mango was significantly exceeding its normal size, in relation to other mangos from the same tree. 

After measuring its size and weight, Dabegy, German’s daughter, suggested to search in the internet to see if there was any record title of the category and found out that their mango was the heaviest in the world.

After being documented for the record, the family made a mold out of the fruit to make a replica and to give it to the municipality to commemorate this event. Then, the family shared and ate the entire fruit.
