unripe mango
Sour tropical fruit
An unripe mango is a mango harvested or eaten before it has fully ripened—still firm, green-skinned, and tart rather than sweet.
In South and Southeast Asian cuisines, unripe mangoes are prized for their sourness in salads, pickles, chutneys, and drinks: Thai green mango salad, Indian mango pickle.
The flesh is pale and crunchy compared to the soft, golden interior of ripe fruit.
