Mango Varieties & IdentificationShould a Blackie mango have black skin when it is ready to eat?
The Blackie record describes light green-yellow skin rather than a black ripe color. The name should not be used as a ripeness chart. It also describes relatively small fruit with firm, low-fiber flesh and a tangier flavor profile. Assess an actual sample by its appropriate eating stage and condition instead of waiting for a color that the cultivar description does not predict.
