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 the world. The mango has a warm sweet taste, which is some times pleasantly tart.
