Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Mango varieties that are supremely delicious Frozen

The last two years I ramped up my mango freezing, I probably froze 75-100 lbs during the 2023 season. I’ve eaten close to 200 different cultivars and there’s only a handful I don’t like, mostly the types that taste like vegetables.
I almost wrote off Kesar last summer, after tasting it for the first time. But after eating it frozen, I’m now a lover and not a hater. Freezing took away whatever I didn’t like about it out of hand. I also found Malindi was better tasting after freezing it, the taste went from mild out of hand to more flavorful somehow. Typically the spice and terpenes are reduced after freezing, but I’m happy to be eating M4, Brite Bite, Harvest Moon, Lemon Meringue, and Orange Sherbet mango this week. I eat them like an above post described, for maybe 15 minutes frozen, then back to the freezer, or in smoothies with pineapple chunks, coconut milk, and pineapple juice.
