  • In this video we are tasting Cac, Sugar Loaf and Candy Corn varieties of mangoes. Sugar Loaf and Candy Corn mangoes were obtained from Zill High Performance Plants nursery in Boynton beach, FL. Cac was obtained from a friend in Coral Springs, FL who goes by the name of 'mangokothiyan' in Tropical fruit forum.
    Disclaimer: We all know that different mango varieties have different flavors; some have a classic mango taste, some have citrusy sweetness, some - tones of peach, pineapple, guava; some a cocktail of many tropical fruits and some have floral smell and flavor tones, so they cannot compete or be compared. Nor can they be given points like 1-10, as taste is very personal and subjective, varies from person to person and culture to culture. Also, the same mango variety grown in different parts of Florida will taste different depending on changes in microclimate, annual rainfall, soil health, mineral and salt content, fertigation regimen (irrigation+fertilization), etc. Lastly, mango picked early / not fully mature vs picked at the peak maturity changes how they ripen off of tree; often mangoes picked green, hard & immature eventually change color and look nice but will not get optimal sweetness (brix) or the complexity of flavor that makes mango such a unique and tasty fruit.
    Don’t make assumptions about a variety based on your tasting of a mediocre tasting fruit! Try fruit from different places, different microclimates at different stages of ripeness.

    Dear mango lovers,
    We had to write and pin this comment because we are getting some very personal comments filled with negative energy, and we don’t want that in our lives. We thought the disclaimer in description would be enough for all to understand that the mango tastings are not done to rate or devalue certain mangoes, we do it out of love for this wonderful fruit. Any mango variety grown in its optimal growing condition would be superior in taste to any other best mango in the world. Most newer varieties of mango trees in our garden are still young to produce except a few trees, so we source them from growers around which we disclose in video descriptions. Some of the fruit we pick from their trees ourselves. Plus, there are some varieties that just got released this year, or last year, or 2 yrs ago which no home grower has been able to grow yet, so we cannot (and won’t!) grow all the mangoes we taste in our videos; it makes no sense to us to grow a tree first and taste the variety later. And even then, taste from tree to tree of the same mango variety varies, plus year to year, even month to month there is variability. We thought every mango lover would understand that, but seems that some people are hurt and want to attack me personally. This will not be tolerated. Let’s have a healthy discussion instead! Please comment on how you felt tasting these mangoes this year instead, and make your own videos, the more diverse the taste of each mango the better, it is for everyone to learn - let’s avoid personal attacks, let’s be constructive and creative. As I said many times before, we are all different, and different opinions are welcome!

    I loved your video. You might consider giving them your rating from 1 to 10. You repeat evaluations from month to month is a smart idea. Some times flavors change.

      Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I see people rating 1 to 10 but i did not know how to scale them. Perhaps every low fiber mango starts from 5/10 and then add 1 point to each to its quality such as nice smell, no skin blemishes, sweetness, added tropical fruit flavor, high flesh/seed ratio. Still flavor is very subjective and personal so i decided not to do.

    Thanks for mentioning the indo Chinese comment in your video about Cac, that is something I was wondering about.

  • @johannesvanhoek9080
    @johannesvanhoek9080 Před 2 lety +1

    Why do they refer to certain mangoes as Indo Chinese, can it not be a little more specific possibly ? Thanks

    • @growpuravida
      @growpuravida  Před 2 lety +1

      Yes it does seem like an archaic term that needs to be updated. They are trying to coin a term for a certain taste type, but indochinese is not and should not be used to denote a certain taste type. With so many words in English vocabulary i hope the mango gurus in FL will come up with a more suitable word in near future.

      There are lots of mango growers in Arizona... depending on which part of Arizona, Phoenix is a good place for mangoes, some extra hard work but people have grown them and fruited mangoes. Here is a good channel to watch: czcams.com/users/TheNaveed787videos
