Eating stage
UF/IFAS records green, pink and yellow skin tones and notes that Keitt may also be eaten at the green-firm stage. That stage differs from soft ripe fruit. In the comparison photograph, Ataulfo is on the left and ripe Keitt is on the right; green skin alone does not identify an unknown mango.
