FRUIT

Ripeness and aroma

Mangoes Australia describes firm, fibre-free flesh, a small seed, yellow-orange skin with deep pink blush, and yellow-orange flesh. Its eating-ripeness cues combine loss of green skin colour with slight softness to gentle pressure. Red or pink blush alone is not a ripeness test. Queensland's 1999 variety reference records a monoembryonic seed.
