Epic Mango tasting 2020 - Coconut Flavored Mangoes - Coconut Cream, Sugar Loaf, Piña Colada, M-4

Описание: In this video we are tasting the most popular coconut flavored mangoes grown in Florida in 2020. Many mango lovers/friends have asked me personally which one variety i would choose as the best coconut flavored mango, and I never had a good answer to this simple question. So, we decided to collect Coconut cream, Sugar Loaf, Pina Colada and M-4 mangoes for this taste review video. There are other FL grown coconut flavored mangoes too but we wanted to taste these, as they are the most popular ones this year.
Since these mango varieties ripen at different times during the mango season, it was difficult to get all of them to ripen at the same time for the tasting table. So we had to wait a week and merge 2 videos for that.
Coconut Cream was obtained from Steve @ The Hidden Acres, Sugar Loaf & Piña Colada were from Zill High Performance Plants nursery in Boynton Beach, and M-4 was from our own tree.

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.
