🌈 Mango Rainbow tasting table-2: what's the taste of that Mango variety?

🥭 We've had another mango tasting table and asked participants to describe the taste in a few words. And this is what we got:
  • 🟠 Haden - mild, melting, classic heavenly mango flavor,dark yellow flesh, almost fiberless.
  • 🟠 Ugly Betty - opposite to the name, the taste is excellent , juicy, melting, sweet.
  • 🟠 Cotton Candy - true candy, fiberless, sweet, melting.
  • 🟠 Madame Fransis - dark orange pulp, slightly fibrous, robust, meaty like a steak, good with cognac. A little pulpy but unique flavor.
  • 🟠 Diamond - bright yellow, fiberless, sugary, juicy, no pulp at all, classic mango taste, good with ice cream, "wow" taste!
  • 🟠 Pickering - zesty, waterfall: all the flavors come at once, eat with White wine and/or a cake. Oval fruit somewhat flat, very large for a dwarf tree!
  • 🟠 Baptiste - hint of citrus, melts in your mouth, dark orange flesh, crisp, eat with Red wine and cheese.
  • 🟠 Florigon - creamy, buttery, spicy. Eat with Ice cream!
  • 🟠 Tommy Atkins - has a bit zing to it, perfect consistency, perfect taste. Super colorful, crimson red to purple skin!
  • 🟠 Nam Doc Mai - gold standard! Perfect every day.
  • 🟠 Carry - tastes even better than all others, smooth buttery, lite!

🌈 Why mango lovers are obsessed with this rare variety: Maha Chinook - the mango even Nam Doc Mai envies

🥭 Maha Chinook Mango is possibly the best mango you've never tasted. Rare, beautiful, and unbelievably delicious. It is a prized semi-dwarf variety from Singapore, known for its exceptional flavor and fiberless flesh. The fruit is long, often with a pink blush, and resembles Nam Doc Mai - only better! It can be enjoyed green (sweet and crisp) or ripe (smooth and aromatic). Slow-growing and perfect for containers, it produces multiple crops and has a long, variable season. Its nearly paper-thin seed and high flesh-to-seed ratio make it one of the most sought-after mangoes in the world.
