Florida Mango Tasting 2020: Turpentine, Seacrest/Triple Sec, Sunrise & Kathy/Kryptonite Mangoes

Описание: In this video we are tasting Turpentine, Seacrest, Sunrise and Kathy or Kryptonite varieties of mangoes. Turpentine and Seacrest mangoes were obtained from the home fruit stand at Walter and Verna Zill's home in Delray beach, FL. Sunrise mango was obtained from a friend in Coral Springs, FL who goes by the name of 'mangokothiyan' in Tropical fruit forum. And Kryptonite or Kathy or K-3 mango was purchased from Zill's high performance nursery in Boynton Beach, 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, 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.
