Mangoes can be both pulpy and juicy, depending on the variety and ripeness.
Mangoes exhibit a diverse range of textures. Some varieties, like Alphonso, are known for their soft, pulpy, and very juicy texture, often compared to an overripe plum. In contrast, other varieties, such as Tommy Atkins, tend to be firmer and may have a more fibrous texture with less juice. The level of ripeness also plays a role; a fully ripe mango is generally juicier and has a softer pulp than an unripe one.
In summary, whether a mango is predominantly pulpy or juicy depends on the specific type of mango and its stage of ripeness. Some are both!
