The texture of the fruit is slightly firmer than that of plum

In terms of taste, it reminds you of Alphonso Mango.

So having a firmer texture and being edible with skin on It does promise you a dribble and drip-free bite, without any irritating fibres that stick to your teeth.

For Size the plango is much shorter than an actual mango though – just 5cm in diameter and 10 cm in length
