Mango
Keitt Mango
✓ VerifiedFlorida, USA (1939)
Keitt was discovered in Homestead, Florida in 1939 by J.N. Keitt and remains unusual among common mango varieties for staying green even at full ripeness, which historically confused shoppers accustomed to judging mango ripeness by red or yellow coloring — a reminder that skin color is a poor ripeness indicator across mango varieties generally, something Keitt makes especially obvious.
