Here is a springfels mango purchased from ensy's:
This was a beast of a mango and it served as desert after dinner for me, my wife, her grandpa, aunt and uncle. It was great to share this mango with them because they, besides my wife, have only had what is available in the stores to purchase as their experience with mango. This mango was 2lbs and 5.5oz and 6.75in long. The outside coloration is distinct to the other springfels i have seen with a streaking of color from to to bottom and was red fading into orange into yellow. My uncle was particularly interested in how to process a mango, so I first halved the mango lengthwise and then cubed it by the "hedge-hog" method and presented it on a plate. The flesh was yellow, soft and juicy. The texture had some long fibers with some small bristly ones not very noticeable when cubed. The taste to me was similar to a Valencia pride with slight tangy-ness and when I asked the table what they were tasting, my wife's aunt replied with "apricot" which seemed probable. There was a lot of meat on this mango and the seed is monoembryonic.
