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 KZbin 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.

[@whomeverwherever]

Sweet tart is very unique even texture wise. Very aptly named. This is the first year my tree fruited, and I’ve been experimenting on what ripeness level I prefer most. I do like the uniqueness of them though. Have not had anything else like it.

[@bobc.6672]

[@Pay-It_Forward]

Do you or Paul, know anyone in India who has the (Phoenix Mango) ?

[@growpuravida]

I was in eastern part of India recently and i did not hear any other FL mango except Tommy Atkins and Palmer. They use these varieties to cross with the regular Indian varieties to develop colorful mangoes that are high in demand in India now, for commercial purpose.

[@Pay-It_Forward]

@@growpuravida OMG, America is going to destroy 😳 the quality of India mangoes! Why couldn't it be our new flavor rich cultivars?

[@growpuravida]

Probably because of commercial demands for color. They look attractive so more people buy them. Most commercial varieties aren’t the best tasting ones, and the dynamics are in that direction. Not only in India but in Latin America as well. Whatever is in fashion will surely have an impact on local varieties.

[@growpuravida]

But it’s not America who is destroying the local cultivars; it’s the local growers who are gladly planting and cultivating whatever sells the best, so talk to your own local growers, educate, enlighten them about what they’re doing…

@@growpuravida Indirectly, Yes it is America's version on Mango Capitalism pushed by National Institute of Food & Agriculture of USDA, plus University of Florida TREC, which push things like Tommy Atkins due to high yields, disease resistance, shipability, fast growth & color.
