Mango Tasting on Memorial Day in WPB

[Mr. Clean]

We had an mango tasting on Memorial Day.  Squam provided the Lemonzest; Mr. Clean provided the rest of the mangos.  Squam diligently recorded the brix of each mango.  Two mangos had a 23 brix:  the Dupuis Saigon and Lemonzest.  The Dupuis was unevenly ripened, resulting in part of the mango having a Brix of 23 and another part with a 17 Brix.  Carrie and Angie had similar flavor, but Carrie had more flavor than the Angie.

Thanks for the Brix report! How about a ranking and taste descriptions on the favorites?

Coconut cream was probably the least impressive of the bunch.

I have had a number of CC this year, obviously from the early bloom, which were impressive for first fruits of the season.

Sorry I missed it. I could have added Edward, Nam Doc Mai, and Okrung to the mix.

The CC could have been better.  I had better CC from the same tree earlier in the year.
