A ripe mango is a tropical fruit known for its sweet, juicy flesh and vibrant color, which can range from green to yellow to red. When ripe, the skin yields slightly to pressure, indicating that the fruit is ready to eat. The flesh inside is typically golden-yellow and has a smooth, creamy texture, making it a popular choice for fresh eating, smoothies, and desserts. Mangoes are rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C and vitamin A, and are also a good source of dietary fiber. They are often enjoyed in various cuisines around the world, including Indian, Mexican, and Thai dishes. Ripe mangoes can be eaten on their own or used in salads, salsas, and beverages.
