I can't imagine what would possess someone to be mean and nasty to a kind person like you making fruit-tasting videos. I've always loved your passion and enthusiasm, and I appreciate your sophisticated palate when it comes to mangos. I feel like I've learned a lot about the different varieties. There must be a lot of raccoons coming over from the park! (Do you have any mangos left on your trees?)
Thank you for your kind words John . It has been a very busy year with lots of traveling by air. I missed the west palm beach mango festival and many other tasting-gatherings due to my schedule. What new varieties of mangos have been your surprise favorites this year? There are a few Neelams still hanging or perhaps raccoons might have already gobbled them since i left. Off year for Honey kiss and M4 here, just had one M4 that i gave to Steve at Hidden Acres mango farm for tasting.
Well, it would be amazing to be your neighbor! It is very rewarding sharing mangoes. I sent 11 sweet tart mangoes from my tree to my mom (they are very good shipping mangoes!) and she was so very happy. I could freeze the extras and enjoy them frozen, but blessing someone who can’t grow them themselves is a wonderful thing.
I live in Costa Rica and this year Iwas lucky enough to get a Giselle mango tree from Zill plantas, after watching a video on it. I wish we had more available varieties here IN CR.
@@growpuravida I really hope you keep making videos, they are very informative (you have very educated taste buds) and I can't imagine why you would restrict yourself to only reviewing your own mangos.
Yes i tell in each video where the mangoes are from, Tropical Acres sell boxes online but there is a narrow window for each variety so you have to check in often.
some people dont really like complex taste, with a hint of spices or some kind of medicine. have u tasted the super galila variety? try come to the philippines and experience the mango festival in guimaras island. still carabao is one of the best tasting mangoes in the world as it smells and tastes like authentic mango.
@@barrioboi14344 dude you completely misunderstand the term "complexity"! It's not the medicinal taste - who would like that? - and not even the spice. It's the same as complexity in wines; actually, good wine and good mango are very similar structurally. To understand what "complexity" really means, google this phrase: what-does-complexity-mean-in-wine. By the way, "authentic" mango is spicy - Indian varieties are the closest ones to it and are direct descendants, having lots of turpenes that make a mango spicy. South East Asian mangos have nothing to do with authenticity, they are just plain sweet and uninteresting. Try to come to Florida and taste 300 varieties, developed specifically for the complexity and uniqueness of their flavors. And try to watch old videos where he very carefully explains different flavors of many mangos sought after in the US and other countries, before pooping in comments.
@@couchalmightyincorporating sea mango genetics is very important for adding different flavors to new selections as well as better resistance to humidity related diseases like anthracnose
The mangos that look clean on the outside do not necessarily mean they are healthy. Mangos can have all sorts of extremely harmful chemicals sprayed onto them to make them look spotlessly clean and those will be the most unhealthy ones, very harmful to your body. But more majority of the humans looks are important in everything we choose in life, houses, cars, partners and i can go on. These mangos travelled from Florida to Missouri in a suitcase and stayed in an environment for ripening that i would not put them in FL. They developed spots because of that, the inside was tasty and good, and certainly very healthy. Health has nothing to do with looks, either in mangos or in humans. Amen!!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on these mangos! I am inspired to taste the varieties you have mentioned! 🎉😊
I’m really glad to hear that! 🤙🤙🤙

Hopefully soon! 🤞
I very much like and appreciate your videos, never mind that one negative person out there, don't let it bother you. Pura Vida.
Thanks so much for the encouragement! 🙏

Hi I am in Atlanta.. do you recommend any website which sells some of the mangoes you taste? Would be interested.. btw I am from India

@@growpuravida Thanks!
Dasheri also very flat flavour but its highly sweet here in india
Good to know! Thanks for the info
Carabago is just an ordinary mango , nothing special
some people dont really like complex taste, with a hint of spices or some kind of medicine.
have u tasted the super galila variety? try come to the philippines and experience the mango festival in guimaras island.
still carabao is one of the best tasting mangoes in the world as it smells and tastes like authentic mango.
In some online videos, it’s called one of top ten in the world 😝😭
@@growpuravida 😂😂😂

your mangoes don't look healthy at all.
The mangos that look clean on the outside do not necessarily mean they are healthy.

@@growpuravidadisagree.. those spots caused by certain diseases or bacteria. if i were to buy i'd choose the better looking ones
You can open your own channel and taste whatever your soul desires. I don't mind spots and they do not affect the taste.
@@barrioboi14344 it's just surface issues dude , try growing organic produce ... Surface level blemishes are all too common
