- We are embarking on a very exciting journey of finding the ultimate Mallika mango harvesting and ripening technique. Follow us in this detailed experiment as we're coming to discover the 100% sureproof way of getting the most delicious Mallikas, every single time!
It's a long video and involves detailed timeline over the course of 2-3 weeks; please bear with me as there is a lot of valuable information speckled through this one. Please support us in this endeavor of making more educational videos like this by liking and commenting; we put a lot of effort into making videos like this "for the benefit of all", they're time consuming but very necessary, as we get a lot of questions about Mallika from frustrated growers.
+++A bonus+++ - previously edited out footage that we think is very timely for this video. Watch until the end! 🐇🐇🐇
Disclaimer: We are creating mango tastings for the 2nd year in a row and feel like sharing the same disclaimer because we still see people arguing about taste. Like many things in life that cannot be ever measured in a lab, taste is one of them. It is purely a subjective experience involving one's cultural conditioning. Exposure to certain types of foods during our childhood days, special liking of other types of fruit or candies and finding hints of them in mangoes play very heavy on the type of mangoes one likes or dislikes.
Also, the same mango variety grown in different parts of Florida (or the world) will taste different depending on changes in microclimate, annual rainfall, soil health, soil mineral and salt content, fertigation regimen (irrigation+fertilization), etc. so blanket statements about a certain variety's taste aren't welcome. Lastly, mango picked early / not fully mature vs picked at the peak maturity changes how they ripen off of tree; often mangoes picked green, hard & immature eventually change color and look nice but will not get optimal sweetness (brix) or the complexity of flavor that makes mango such a unique and tasty fruit.
Please don’t make assumptions about a variety based on your tasting of a mediocre tasting fruit! Try fruit from different places, different microclimates at different stages of ripeness.

Thanks for the video. First time my mallika have fruits, excited to try it. My nam duc mai is on its third season so no surprise there, excellent as always.
Great experiment!! Thanks very helpful!!
Great information, thanks
Thanks for the video. I used to think funky taste was due to carbide style ripening... Thanks for clear explanation..
Interesting account on Mallika :)
My mallika mangoes are each almost a kilo. I have not been able to ripen it to perfection yet. I wrap them in newspaper and keep them in box to ripen. I liked your experiment and am taking clues from it too.
The funky taste has to do with when it's
picked. If you allow it to develop any yellow they will usually almost always turn that way. Always pick them as green as possible with white specks and ripen until partly yellow.
Yes thats the trick. This year and eaten at this stage, with mild color change to greenish yellow, and soft to touch, they were better than Lemon zests bought from a friend who grows them.
Mallika is my favorite flavor of all mangos ive tried . im not wn expert bt i’ve eaten Mallika of my family tree in orlando florida and never experienced any funky flavor or anything like that ! the tree my family have is like 30 feet tall its huge and makes a lots of fruit !!!
Its good that you do the explanation in English...pls continue in English quite often!!
I ate a ton of mallika last year. They were grown on pine island. They were absolutely incredible. Orange/citrus flavor, some had coconut type flavors, vanilla. Grower said he picks when the shoulder lightens very slightly.
Best mango I have ever had. So much so I planted one. They were all green with a slight bits of yellow.
Good luck growing them! They’re truly underrated
I placed Mallika in shredded papers in a box for 5 days. It was good tasty not funky taste. I left accidentally 2 in a box for more than 10 days and had a funky taste. Some of the mangoes ripen after 5 days and were placed in a refrigerator for 5 - 6 days and they did not have a funky taste. Thanks for your experiment.
Thanks a lot for sharing!
Great informative tutorial. Is the sewer smell reminiscent of a bad cantaloupe? Because that makes it unpalatable, Without that it’s a great mango. I picked my last malikka today and it was outstanding, no cantaloupe scent. I let them get slightly yellow on the tree and put them in the rice box for a couple of days.
Thank you for the feedback. I think the cantaloupe smell is different, this smell you get when your septic system is in trouble, or when city sewage pipes burst...
@@growpuravida I have not noticed that yet, thankfully. Malikka has some issues but when right, it’s a great mango.
In my experience tree ripened Mallika taste just as delicious as picked before ripe and ripened inside unless you get allot of rain then tree ripened fruit can get that sewer taste because the fruit becomes diluted with water, but as long as it’s dry the fruit will taste just as good!
Happy birthday, Japeth:)
@@growpuravida 🤩 thank you so much Osho😊! I Love your videos!!! You are awesome bro🤗❤️🙏
Thank you for letting me know I’m not crazy and just messed up the timing with Malika. It’s not easy! Mine was your first taste. It was spit out…. I couldn’t put my finger on the chemical taste…..you said it kerosene! There are too many delicious more forgiving mangoes for me. Thank you for your videos they are such a help for a beginning mango grower who wants to try a very natural food forest organic approach.
I also tried this mango. No fibre, lot of flesh, juicy. But it had a funky taste....
That’s the point, if properly ripened this is a top shelf mango; if improperly ripened, it gets a funky smell/taste
Have you tried ripening other mango’s like this. Curious if it will give the same results
Sure, i ripen most mangoes like this, but they don’t have the problem of getting funky flavor so they can be ripened even on countertop
@@growpuravida thank you I thought it might have a positive effect on other mangos
🤓
Can Mallika compete with honey mango or mahachanoke?
Yes of course, a properly ripened Mallika is in the same league as Lemon zest mango, it has complex multidimensional taste compared to Mahachanook or to honey mango.
Which on is tastier? Mallika or Amrapali?
Both very good tasting
You don’t have problems with iguanas eating the flowers of mango tree?
I replied your previous comments about iguanas! :)
Dont you have to eat Malika when the skin is still green?
it's too sour and chalky when it's still green.
you have shipp to California ?
No we don’t sell.
@@growpuravida If you don’t sell do you or your family just eat all the mangoes?
We share with our neighbors if we have too many to eat. They also share their fruits in exchange. Once the trees grow big perhaps we will have enough to start selling.
you have Mallika tree . I want order .
Sorry no mallika trees for sale
Can you tell me the maximum height of this tree
Ours is 7 yrs old and 8-9 ft tall. Not pruned. Flushes once in a year. Has produced every year except one year it skipped after a heavy production previous year.
@@growpuravida thanks
surela taste. Taste like fermented toddy . In Goa we call it surela taste
never tried toddy, sorry! 😔
I know exactly the funky smell you are talking about. I hate that smell. A mallika mango with that smell tastes really funky. 😂😛
Any fruit will taste better when they ripen on the tree!
Do you have a Mallika mango tree?
@@growpuravida I have been trying to cultivate Perry's CHAMPA MANGO in Tampa Florida. 2 + pounds,all meat, no fiber and delicious.
I love that funky taste and smell you describe.
Wow you are the first person i met who likes it!
@@growpuravida I wouldn't describe the smell as a sewer either. I think the aroma is unique. Since it has been a while, I can not recall what it smells like. It is akin to a young mango type smell. Unfortunately, we don't get well ripened fruit here because they are often picked too early.
Seems that you’re describing turpentine smell, which is quite pleasant to me. I’m talking about a sewery smell that’s quite different from young mango smell… it’s literally the same as dysfunctional septic tank smells like… maybe I didn’t describe it well, sorry about that.
@@growpuravida I have no idea what turpentine smells like :) Nor can I ever say that I smell any fruit that is like a sewer.
Mangoes contain turpines which gives “spicy” profile in certain mangoes and is considered desirable by many.
I want mango 😈
are you starting your harvest yet?
You're supposed to let it ripped on the tree
Only if you want it to rip 🪦
