Have you ever heard of a champagne mango? My wife and I had them when we toured a farm in Hawaii where their goal wasn’t actually to grow / sell fruit, but to replenish the nutrients in the soil that were wrecked by sugar cane plantations. Anyway, the guy pulls these mangoes straight off the tree and tells us they’re really fibrous so you can’t eat them like a regular mango, but you can mash it up in the skin then drink it like a juice box. He tossed me the one he was mashing up as a demo while explaining all this then told me to bite the top off and drink. As soon as my teeth broke the skin, juice started gushing out onto my shoes and the ground. The juice from that mango is easily like top 3 things I’ve ever eaten. Both the amount of flavor and the amount of juice that came from it were unbelievable.

Hell yeah. Ever since I was a kid, yellow peaches have been one of the best foods I’ve ever eaten.

Peaches from Washington state are incredible. I say this as a Georgian.

It was heaven.

Mangos are the greatest. I’ve tried all the others, pathetic.

I know we’re in the minority here, but I agree. Mango is gross.

Same. Mango is unpleasant imo. Also peaches and apricot are gross too.

Mangosteens. They are the Best Fruit.

The ones you get here in Australia are golfball-sized and horribly expensive, but when I went to singapore they were huge and cheap.

I’ve never heard of those. They look just like the bombs from 64-era Zelda.

Isn’t the fruit to seed ratio bad?

Not really but the answer is it depends on your luck. There are ‘slices’ that have no seed and some with seeds that are 80% of the ‘slice’.
