The mango skin is smooth and shiny and its color varies in hue from very green to bright, wild red or yellow, depending on its variety and how ripe it is.
The fruit flesh of a ripe mango is very sweet with a unique taste. The texture of the flesh varies markedly between different cultivars, some having a soft, pulpy texture similar to an over-ripe plum, whole others having firmer flesh like a cantaloupe or avocado.
In some cultivars, the flesh has a fibrous texture. The better mangoes have firm but yielding sweet flesh that is rich and dense and has not gotten too stringy.
