Keitt

Keitt is a late-season international variety that, like India's Langra, stays green even when fully ripe. This often confuses consumers who associate ripeness with yellow color. Originating from Florida, Keitt offers good sweet flavor with minimal fiber and is popular as a late-season option in international markets when other varieties are out of season.
