Bought this at the farmers market yesterday and am wondering what type it may be. The lady selling them were calling them Kent's from FL, but the sticker shows that that is obviously not right. Is the Marathon on the label the type? I have never heard of it, but it's a great mango. Huge, no fiber, and really sweet.

| hmm. what color is the flesh? what does it taste like? where any of the other mangos in the bunch red or were they all green? i know mexico exports keitt and kent around this time. |

| They were all the color of the pick. The one in the pic was the color when totally ripe.Flesh was kind of a yellow on the outer parts and more of an orange yellow closer to the center. Can't really compare the taste to other mangoes that I have tried. It was VERY sweet with pretty much no acid that I could taste. Almost too sweet for me. If I find them again I will probably not allow them to ripen quite so much. |

| Marathon is the brand, I think thats a Keitt Mango. |
