1. Mango2. Lychee3. Jackfruit4. Avocado (Haas and Fuerte)5. Pineapple (when it's really good ..)
Wouldn't they all have to be really good Afer all, do you want a mango purchased in December from Publix ??rob
I'm having a hard time limiting it to 5. I will try and narrow it down to a top 5 eventually. Give me a few days. These are in no particular order.Watermelon (Most favorite)Indian JujubePurple MombinPineappleBarbados CherryGrapes (Not the green ones, they're good but not favorite fruit list good)PluotsPixie TangerinesThis one container of strawberries I had once. Haven't had another set that good since.
[1). ROLLINIA (hands down best I've had, possibly a fruit I could eat myself to death with, like horse with hay)2). Garcinia sp. Fruits/ fresh from FL...like intermedia, livingstoneii, wish there was more I've tasted!3). Jaboticaba (many varieties, some more than others), but now I'm big on Cambuca and M. trunciflora and M. spirito santesis!!!!4). Sapodilla/canistel/mamey all tied5). Atemoya (maybe my most favorite but listed in 5th for some reason)
really surprised to see mangosteen only appearing a couple of time- maybe many of you have not gotten to try itseems like lychee and mango feature most heavily in top 5- good call peeps.my top 5 in order are mauritius lycheemangosteenMaha Chanok mangoa very specific red muscat grape only grown in chile5th would be tied between top notch nectarines, plums, apples, watermelon, jaboticaba and marangi know taste is subjective but really surprised to see sapodila feature heavily in peoples top 5.and prickly pear? i really dont get that- ive tried quite a few and while they are ok, they wouldnt make my top 50 list and then add to that, that ive never managed out of about 20 attempts, to eat a pp without getting spines in my hands and tongue
