I Tasted and Ranked 17 Mango Varieties to Find the Best One

I organized a mango tasting contest with six judges, scoring 17 varieties on sweetness, texture, color, and smell. Imam Pasand won, followed by Raspuri and Amarpally. The project began after a failed Mango Affogato and two rainy trips to Lalbagh's mango festival. The full spreadsheet is available, and I plan to make it an annual event.

I had to overeat for a few days, but I managed to finish the Mangoes.

    There is a Pakistani variant called "Anwar Ratol" which is not in the list. I believe, it's the best mango variety ever.

    My recommendation is to be friendly with the greengrocery employee/owner so they recommend the best mangos. (I'm not sure there are so many varieties here, but picking one that is ripe to eat today is not so easy.)

    I understand this is an old "research" but I was not on any social media for the past few years, so I'm sharing it now.

More from this day
