Alphonso Mangoes (Magnifera indica) are oval in shape and about 4 to 6 inches long. The skin of the ripe fruit is golden yellow in colour, but is inedible. There is a central large seed surrounded by the pulp, which ranges from rich to a golden yellow and is widely considered to be the tastiest fruit in India. The mango has a warm sweet taste, which are sometimes pleasantly tart. This fruit is also known as ‘King of Mangoes’ and has rich aromatic flavour. It is an excellent source of Vitamin A and C.
