I didn’t like it at first ,definitely you learn to love it and appreciate it ,you have to wait it’s fully ripe otherwise you taste some herbal medicinal taste . Wait and it really becomes an explosion of sweetness and flavors
Love the various personalities of everyone ! I had a REALLY ripe Angie today from the tree from some Tropical Nursery friends here in Metro Phx...when like that, it is incredible.
Maybe every location is different. Angie never had the "wow" factor when I had a tree (one of my sons really disliked it), but I think Alex and/or Dr. Campbell have said it's one of their most popular mangoes.
Tasted an Angie for the first time. Got one in a variety box of mangoes from Florida. I waited until it was all yellow, nice aroma, just a tiny bit of give when squeezing it, -- not hard as a rock. It was such a dissappointment. Tasted like cooked carrots (with maybe a bit of mango thrown in), and then there was some kind of odd epoxy or industrial cleaner undertone to it. Was it over-ripe? How would one ever know? The texture was good, but I threw it away. I realize there's a lot to picking mangoes at the right time and then letting them ripen the right amount, and mangoes can vary from season to season, but if flavor is anything like this, I'll pass on Angies. I know a lot of Florida people turn their noses at store-bought mangoes, but this Anglie didn't even come CLOSE to a box of Mexican Kent mangoes that I got at my local Asian market for a little over $1 each. The Kents were so full of flavor and satisfying. Like sweet peaches with a bit of tart to give them zing, and a long period of edibility.
My Angies in their first two years of production have fruits that are the same shape as yours but do not have the red or orange blushes, only yellow coloration. They also have not been early but mid-season. Is this a normal range of variation based on weather and soil conditions or should I suspect mislabeling of the tree? (The mangos are very good, so I'm not complaining but would like to know for sure if it is really Angie.)
Most of our Angie mangos do not have a blush. The coloration depends on exposure to direct sun. Also, the timing of our Angie fruit varied significantly depending on the location of the particular Angie tree in the grove.
