I think I stone fruit is a fruit with one large seed in it. Examples are peaches and avocados.

I see.

So, sea grapes and coco plums must fit into that category too. What's the significants of a stone fruit other than it has one seed? Is there a nutritional difference?

I must tell you that mangoes would stick in between my teeth and gums like cooked meat would.

Cantaloupe/honeydew/watermelon--they aren't too sweet. Strawberries, grapes, and other berries make me cringe a little from the sweetness.

I used to eat cases of mangos when I was raw vegan and the cure I found for that is to chew on a stalk of celery after the mango gets in your teeth and the celery strands pull it out.

The technique to slicing mangoes is to be left with a very thin bone in the middle.
You eat the fleshy parts with a spoon.
The fleshy part doesn't stick to your teeth.
It's when you get to the seed that sticks to your teeth.

Of course I don't know if your mangoes are the same as what we got here.
I believe you also get mangoes from south america.

Yellow mangoes don't really have much of the fibrous material but the red and green ones do. I've only had the yellow mangoes grown from a neighbor's own tree. The red and green fibrous ones are what's commonly sold in supermarkets and farmer's markets.

Are Philippine mangoes yellow?

Yes.

The commercialized ones are usually the carabao mangoes.  Colored yellow.
Commercial meaning they are sprayed.
They are the sweetest and taste really good.

A non-commercial one is the pico mango. More yellow orange.

The indian mango is green and grows wild without any care.

When mango gets stuck in my teeth mostly is when i'm scraping the left over fruit off the seed.
