In this video we are tasting Lemon Zest, Lemon Meringue, Butter cream and Rosigold varieties of mangoes. Butter cream and Rosigold mangoes were obtained from Zill High Performance Plants nursery in Boynton beach, FL. Lemon Zest and Lemon Meringue mangoes were obtained from Hidden Acres Mango farm in Davie, FL.

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, some pineapple, some guava, some a cocktail of many tropical fruits and some have floral small 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, 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 after maturity changes how they ripen off of tree; often mangoes picked green, hard & immature eventually will 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.
