⚠️ Alphonso Mangoes' Spongy Tissue

Alphonso mangoes are known for their superb flavor and texture, frequently regarded as the epitome of mango perfection. They do, however, have several drawbacks, one of which being "spongy tissue."

Some Alphonso mangoes have a physiological condition called "spongy tissue." It breaks down the pulp inside, forming unripe, acidic, white or pale yellow corky tissue with or without air pockets. This disorder usually occurs in certain areas of the mesocarp, which is the fruit's fleshy portion, next to the endocarp, which is the stone or seed.

It may be difficult to identify the afflicted fruit until the mango is sliced open because it may not show any outward signs.  When compared to unaffected mangoes, mangoes with spongy tissue may have an unfavorable off flavor and a less-than-ideal texture when eaten.

 Although they might still be safe to consume, mangoes with spongy tissue might not taste as good or be as enjoyable as those without this trait.  While some customers might decide to throw away the impacted parts of the fruit, others might decide to keep the remaining mango.

 Customers must be aware of this problem, particularly when buying Alphonso mangoes.  Spongy tissue can affect the entire eating experience even though it is a normal occurrence and does not provide a health danger.

The choice to consume mangoes with spongy tissue is ultimately a personal one, and if customers would like, they can look at other mango kinds that have less cases of this problem.
