intesting question:

[Sinkie]

The mango ripens because that is its destiny.

 

[ykhuser]

If starch turns to sugar and makes the mango sweet
How come some mangoes are so sour?

is interesting u fire this qns back?
most likely you will get reply like...there is less starch, more starch more sweet

 

[ykhuser]

an expert told me today...the secret lay in the seed.
chemical chain from the seed released slowly to ripen the meat.
but then again, if all mango got seeds, why some mangoes still sour?
