Get to Know Mangos

Hi Kent!

Kent mangos are round or oval in shape and have a sweet and rich flavor with very few fibers, making them a snacking favorite.
The skin color of this mango variety can be all green or the skin can be green with patches of red blush or even yellow patches. The color of the skin is not an indicator of ripeness for the Kent mango. To tell if this mango is ripe, you have to give it a gentle squeeze.
