Honey Gold
Ripeness and aroma
Mangoes Australia describes firm, juicy, fibreless flesh, golden-apricot skin and yellow-orange flesh. Its eating-stage cues combine a mango aroma, golden skin and slight softness. Queensland research also notes that red blush can occur on sun-exposed shoulders, so uniform colour is not an identification test.
