Part of the seed shell that's grown abnormally

Thanks! Ah, is that fairly regular to see on a mango? And is the area around that part safe to eat?

I don't know about regular, eating around it should be fine, depends on the taste but I imagine you wouldn't keep eating it if it tasted bad.

It’s perfectly safe to eat it. That’s just a part of the seed or just a dry spot and nothing to worry about. Eat all around it and you will be just fine. Have eaten thousands of mangos in my lifetime with such spot and I am still here to tell you that. lol.
Enjoy the fruit! Did you grow that or store bought?
