Tropical Fruit Discussion / lemon zest mango? maybe?
« on: May 06, 2016, 10:29:19 PM »
i just had a mango from whole foods that i think may have been a lemon zest it was light yellow with an undertint of green. black freckles like coarse ground black pepper. plump sigmoid in shape, perhaps twelve ounces
the first taste tone was a pronounced "lemon." not the lemon of a fresh lemon, but the lemon of a lemon flavored hard candy. sweet and pleasant flesh, almost totally fiber-free except right next the the seed.
there was a label with the words:
ORGANIC
Francique
Haiti
followed by the number:
694314
a very nice mango. sorry, no pic, i ate it.
does this sound like a haitian - raised lemon zest?
EDIT:
i just found the answer. i googled mango francique haiti and found that francique is a variety unique to haiti. it's a very good (not quite great) mango, worth the two bucks each that they cost. the article i read said that whole foods usually only had them for a short time each year. they're there now if you want to try one.
