Swai Gaiu Jeun ("Chinese cup mango")


The price for this mango varies depending on ripeness and seller, but can range between about 4 to 6 for $1.

Notes:

---jeff----

This mango is probably the most purely floral of the four we tried today. Pleasant taste, fairly rich in sweetness

  • Smell: tropical flowers, coconut, coconut desserts
  • Taste: very full, round taste. Acidity is incorporated well into other tastes. Heavy sweetness would be overbearing if not for balance brought out by well-blended acidity. Tastes similar to pineapple (in both flavor and acid/sugar balance). In general, very rich. Also has a slight hint of powderyness.
  • Texture: Smooth and creamy feel. Low fiber
  • Color: yellow
