Osho Garden Visits Fruitful Trees - Epic Mango Tasting!

In this video we’re visiting our fruit grower friend Paul in West Palm Beach, FL and tasting some of his best mangoes (Lemon Meringue, Sweet Tart at 2 different ripeness stages, Dot, Pineapple Pleasure, Nam Doc Mai).
Visit Paul’s Youtube channel    / fruitfultrees   to learn about hundreds of fruit varieties growing in Florida.

It's so much fun to taste mangoes with friends; everyone has their own all-time favorites, taste references, cool memories and stories. And, as always, we're sharing The Disclaimer:
Like many things in life that cannot be ever measured in a lab, taste is one of them. It is purely a subjective experience involving one's conditionings. Exposure to certain types of foods during our childhood days, cultural specifics, special liking of other types of fruit or candies and finding hints of them in mangoes play very heavy on the type of mangoes one likes or dislikes.

Also, the same mango variety grown in different parts of Florida (or the world) will taste different depending on changes in microclimate, annual rainfall, soil health, soil mineral and salt content, fertigation regimen (irrigation+fertilization), etc. so blanket statements about a certain variety's taste aren't welcome. 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.

Please 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.
