Today I stopped by Harry's office to test the brix of some dekopon fruit that he received in the mail. Thank you Harry and thank you shipper of dekopon for giving me the chance to try this fruit.
The fruit was pretty good. It's my new favorite mandarin. I can't remember if I liked the pixie tangerines I had last year more though.
Anyways, the brix was not as high as I read they should be. We only tested one fruit so it may not have been as sweet as others usually are but the brix was only around 11. I read that dekopons were around 14+.
Since this was my first time ever using my refractometer it could have been user error in messing up the results but I followed the directions in the book.
We also tested an apple that was at 13.2 brix.
Here are some pics.
