Fiberless mango ?

[fruitloopy]

Many low fiber mangos are called, misleadingly, fiberless.  My sweet tart really is fiberless and Young too, I don’t detect fiber in that one .  But others like Valencia pride, Beverly, coconut cream have a little fiber but are still called fiberless .  As far as “no” fiber mangos, what top tier mango is really fiberless as a sweet tart (as a standard to go by)?

[roblack]

I don't recall hitting any fiber in Coco Cream.

Lots of fiberless mangoes. All of the citrus mangoes...

[bsbullie]

Yeah, no fiber at all in Coco Cream or Beverly.

Valencia Pride definitely has some unobjectionable fiver, as does Pickering.

Others with no fiber: Carrie, Cecilove, Venus, Harvest Moon, Edward, Seacrest, Lemon Zest, Val Carrie, Mallika, Juicy Peach, NDM...I could go on and on.

He did say "top tier."

[bsbullie]

He did say "top tier."

And that term is extremely subjective,  to say the least.  To many, Carrie is top tier.  To me, bottom of the barrel.  Coco Cream is nowhere bear top tier, to me.  Why use Beverly and VP in the same post as top tier.

I do know people who say Ed wa ard, Harvest Moon and even NDM is top tier.  None of those make my top tier.

Agreed that Top tier is way too subjective. That being said, my favorite fiberless mangoes are:

Lemon zest

Edward

NDM (it’s texture is like honey/lime jello to me)

Philippine

The lemon zests I have had weren’t totally fiberless, especially near the seed. On another note, finally had some great malikkas, they have less fiber than Lz and taste just as good as long as they ripen well.

I have eaten many types of mangoes and they were all fiberless as far as I am concerned. The one exception was mangoes from a certain seedling tree that were full of fiber. I suppose they were like the juice mangoes from the Caribbean. Yeah, also once had a real Caribbean juice mango, this was not a fiberless mango.

I think almost every mango seed has some minuscule amount of fiber, especially around the circumference edge (that wouldn't be noticable other than by scraping the seed with one's teeth or scraping clean with the edge of a knife) but not that runs through the edible flesh.  I wouldn't qualify that as fiber free vs having fiber.

VP and Pickering both have a minimal amount of unobjectionable fiber in the flesh.  I have eaten literally hundreds of LZs and never seen any comparable to these with respect to fiber in the actual flesh.

Rob, no objectionable fiber in the LZs, just a few strands from scraping the seeds with my teeth. I always appreciate dietary fiber as long as it’s not in excess like a Tommy Atkins.

Now I get it.... You mean fiber around the seed. This is some people's bugaboo I suppose. Of all the things I think about when eating a mango, a fibrous seed is not one of them. I do  eat flesh on the seed and fiber does not register. If there was any I did not notice this.

[Honest Abe]

If “no fiber around seed” at all is your qualification, I would say that NDM is the only one I’ve personally seen with that specific quality. I mean the seed is paper thin and The flesh is like jello surrounding it.

Carrie, I love them.

I am glad this came up.  I am in Atlanta GA and I have extremely limited varieties of mango here.  By far the best we ever seem to get is the Ataulfo.  And we get plenty of them.  But compared to some other mangoes I have had, it is relatively fiberless.  But I still have to make sure and floss after every one I have ever had.  Where would that fall into the fiberless scale?  I am growing a Carrie right now so I hope to find out what fiberless really means but I have never had one.  (If anyone wants to ship me a Carrie, I would figure out a way to make it worth it).
