Not all mangoes have stringy flesh. Most of the mangoes I see in U.S. supermarkets are the Tommy Atkins variety, which is pretty unremarkable. In the 1950s, the Florida Mango Forum described it as having, “unremarkable eating qualities and considerable fiber in the flesh.”
I sometimes see Kent mangoes, which taste better and are way less fibrous. If you can find a Keitt mango, they taste great and also have low fiber.
