Yellow Maparang Fruit Plant (Seedling)
Maprang mangoes are an attractive diminutive fruit that are about the size and shape of an egg. They grow to 2 to 5 centimeters in diameter, and up to 6 centimeters in length. The outer skin is a light green in color, deepening to a neon-like orange-yellow apricot hue when the fruit is mature. When cut open, the fruit releases a mango-like fragrance with a hint of turpentine. The inner flesh is a bright orange. It is jelly-like and soft, and slightly fibrous. After the initial crisp bite, it bursts into the soft consistency of the aqueous flesh. Each fruit bears a large, edible but bitter seed that is a bright pink to purple in color. Depending on the variety, the flesh can be sour, sweet, or a mixture of sweet-tart flavors.
