Taimour Mango
« on: August 17, 2013, 11:38:27 PM »
I was given two mangoes, and was told they were called Taimour.  I find little information online on these, they are listed in our big master mango list, as being from Egypt, and having a poly seed.

I really should have taken a picture, I regret that I didn't now.  but I will describe what they look like, they are very Nam Doc Mai looking. except I was told they can be eaten green.

sure enough these started getting soft, and stayed green. only getting a hint of yellow.

I do not know how to describe the flavor, they do not even taste like mango to me.  its almost like another kind of fruit.  my wife say it reminds her of a sweet Guanabana.   

it was interesting and I enjoyed it, even if it was not what I was expecting in a mango.

But I really wonder if this really was a Taimour, as the few pictures I have seen online and description,  does not seem to square with what I had. 

Has anyone else had experience with this fruit?
