Here's a rewritten version of the text:
The Mesk mango, originating from Egypt, is a captivating fruit with a unique charm. As it ripens, this small oval-shaped mango develops a striking purple to red hue, making it visually appealing.
Beneath its colorful exterior lies a treasure trove of flavors. The Mesk's flesh is a vibrant orange, completely free of fibers, and exudes an enticing aroma. Its taste profile is a delightful fusion of tropical fruit punch with subtle spicy notes, reminiscent of the renowned Kesar mango. Interestingly, the Mesk's seed is polyembryonic, a characteristic shared by some mango varieties.
The Mesk mango tree is known for its vigorous growth, featuring a vertical habit and dense canopy. It demonstrates good productivity and commendable disease resistance. However, the fruit's short shelf life poses a challenge, as they tend to soften quickly, even while still on the tree.
For optimal enjoyment, Mesk mangoes should be harvested when mature but still firm, allowing them to ripen off the tree. This mid-season variety typically reaches its peak from late June through July, offering a taste of Egypt's summer bounty.
In terms of flavor classification, the Mesk falls into the Indian-Alphonso category, known for its rich, complex taste. This Egyptian gem brings a touch of exotic flair to the world of mangoes, combining the best of tropical sweetness with aromatic depth.
