Alphonso/Hapus Mango Variety:-Alphonso mangoes are small and somewhat egg-shaped. They grow suspended from long stems on evergreen leafy trees. When immature, the soft yellow skin will retain spots of green. When fully ripe, the deeper saffron-hued skin may have a blush of red, but no green color will remain. Alphonso mangoes have very thin skins, so many are hand-harvested to protect the fruit. The aroma of Alphonso mangoes is very intense due to the presence of high levels of myrcene, a kind of terpenoid, a naturally occurring chemical in plants responsible for flavor and aroma. The Indian mangoes have a sharply sweet flavor along with more mellow tropical flavors. The flesh is non-fibrous, with a smooth texture unlike some mango varieties.
