Mangopedia Personal Experience
This Banganapalle mango was tasted after filming a video with it. The sample was roughly around 1 to 1.5 pounds, which felt more like an average-sized mango rather than a truly large one. Large would be closer to 2 pounds or more.
The flesh was very juicy, with plenty of juice dripping after cutting. The color was a soft yellow-orange, almost pastel, rather than a deep or bright orange. This may have been influenced by the fact that the mango was imported from India.
Fiber was visible in the flesh, but it did not come through strongly in the eating texture. Even though the strands could be seen, the mango still felt buttery and melted in the mouth. The measured Brix was 13.3, which is not especially high, but the flavor was still very enjoyable.
The flavor was complex and pleasant, with a mild resinous or spicy aftertaste. It was not overpowering. This is the kind of mango to enjoy when wanting something flavorful but not overly sweet.
