Flavor, Quality & StorageWhy can a mango be sweet but still seem sharply tart?
Sweetness and acidity are separate components of the eating experience. A mango can contain noticeable sugar while retaining enough acid to taste tangy, and the balance changes during ripening. For a useful comparison, taste sound fruit at similar ripeness and describe both sensations. Calling one mango simply sweeter may hide the fact that the main difference is lower acidity.
