mango: a kind that is sour until very ripe?

One mature tree, first time to fruit. Fruits of the longer & flatter shape, yellow skin when ripe. First two: normally soft, yellow flesh, SOUR. I thought that the tree will produce nothing good. Third: softer, orange flesh, sweet. Which prompted the question.

All mangoes are tart until they ripen. Different varieties ripen in different ways. Some need to get soft, some just need to obtain a yellow or reddish color. All depends on variety. Not exactly sure what your question is.

I wrote soft and sour. Do you know of any that is unripe and soft and sour? Do you know of any that is ripe and soft and sour?
