I'm an exotic fruit because I come from tropical parts of the world and am uniquely beautiful. My flavor has been described as tasting like oranges, peaches and pineapples - all in one. M angoes vary in color depending on the variety and exposure to sunlight. Most mangoes start off with a dark green skin color and develop patches of gold, yellow, or red as they mature. The skin is smooth and encloses yellow to orange flesh that is softly moist and richly flavored.
Mangoes emit a pleasant scent of pine and peach from the stem when ripe.
M angoes may be round, oval or kidney shaped, and are about the size of a small melon or large avocado. The most popular varieties are Tommy Atkins , Kent , Keitt , and Haden . Inc.
