Which type of fruit is Mango?

The mango is a drupe, also known as a stone fruit.
A drupe is a type of fruit that has three distinct layers:
1. Exocarp (outer layer): The skin of the mango, which is typically smooth and colored green, yellow, or red depending on the ripeness.
2. Mesocarp (middle layer): The fleshy, edible part of the mango that we eat. It is juicy and sweet.
3. Endocarp (inner layer): This is the hard, woody pit or seed inside the mango. It is also referred to as the "stone" of the fruit.
Characteristics of Drupes:
• Drupes generally have a single large seed or pit inside.
• The fruit is usually fleshy and juicy.
• Other examples of drupes include cherries, peaches, olives, and plums.
The mango is classified as a drupe or stone fruit because of its fleshy exterior and single, hard seed inside.
