Kent Mangoes at Whole Foods in Naples
« on: February 22, 2013, 07:09:51 PM »
Organic, from Peru, $2.50 each. Bought two.  Flavor is very good especially since I have not had a fresh mango since last summer.

I saw them at the Boca Whole Foods...have had them for a few weeks.  Looked very commercial, I passed.  I am not a fan of "boiled" mangoes.

I bought some at the Whole Foods in Plantation, Florida a couple days ago. Overall, besides the price they were very good. I'm planning on going back to get a few more this weekend

On Friday at Rusty's Market locally Kent manoes were 40c/lb (US) for big perfect fruit and an unidentified pure red mango and Brooks were the same.The most expensive types were Calypso,Honey Gold,KP,Nam Doc Mai and Sam Ru Du at $1.20/$1.30/lb (US).Lychees have just finished with early rambutan and longans hitting the stalls.

If I worked at Excalibur, I would have no need for grocery store mangoes either. :-) 

These tasted amazingly unboiled.

Which ones taste the best (for you) Mike? Are they better then the ones you ate in Thailand?

If you ever come in mango-season i will bring you some from my tree so you can taste the difference.

I am not a fan of even a "home grown"/tree ripe Kent either...although I was wowed by Zill's "Oh Too"/O-2 which I believe is a Kent seedling (Alex, please confirm or correct).

Looks like a Peruvian Kent mango season in Southern California also. Right now, we have them at Ralph and Smart & Final where I bought 3 for $0.79 each.
