What fruit is better than mangoes?

Have you ever heard of a champagne mango? My wife and I had them when we toured a farm in Hawaii where their goal wasn't actually to grow / sell fruit, but to replenish the nutrients in the soil that were wrecked by sugar cane plantations. Anyway, the guy pulls these mangoes straight off the tree and tells us they're really fibrous so you can't eat them like a regular mango, but you can mash it up in the skin then drink it like a juice box. He tossed me the one he was mashing up as a demo while explaining all this then told me to bite the top off and drink. As soon as my teeth broke the skin, juice started gushing out onto my shoes and the ground. The juice from that mango is easily like top 3 things I've ever eaten. Both the amount of flavor and the amount of juice that came from it were unbelievable.

Peach

None, I grew up with a mango tree in the backyard.

It was heaven.

Almost all of them.

Mangosteens. They are the Best Fruit.

The ones you get here in Australia are golfball-sized and horribly expensive, but when I went to singapore they were huge and cheap.

There are mangoes and there are mangoes. If you mean the mangoes in a European supermarket, pretty much anything. If you mean the ones in Australia, there’s nothing better.

Where I live, we can get good mangoes, so they may win. But a good watermelon is my favorite fruit, and the occasional perfectly ripe apricot or peach I have tasted were both better than mango, they are just never ripe in the shops here, picked too early I think so they go straight from underripe and hard as rocks to mealy and unpleasant.

Literally all of them.

Perfectly ripe peaches (and other stonefruit)

Blackberries and strawberries! Although my tastes are likely coloured by the fact that I live in a place where few fresh fruits grow other than those, similar berries (yes, I know strawberries aren't technically berries), and apples. So I like what is tastiest here. But I do really like them

Cantaloupe - when it's not pre-cut with a possibility of salmonella

Banana

Than good mango, not many.

Perfectly ripe and jammy persimmons are up there though.

Super ripe and juicy yellow melon is an experience too. Especially when eaten straight out of the fridge on a hot summers day.

Pineapple. When I lived in Brazil I'd buy a fresh pineapple every week and it was heavenly. Easier to cut than a mango. The taste is debatable, I'd lean towards the tart tongue-dissolving pineapple, but hard to argue with the texture of a mango.

Figs fresh off the tree.

Mangos are S tier on taste, but D at best on accessibility. Fruits that I rate highly for both taste and convenience are clementines, seedless green grapes, and those flying-saucer shaped peaches.

Pawpaws

Anything, as I don't like mangos.

Seriously though, oranges.

Apples. Locally grown, not flown across half the globe. And they come in all kinds of different flavors, some more sweet, some more sour, some mild.

Nothing. A mango is literally heaven. So juicy.

Team strawberry

A good kaki Edit: sorry, persimmons they are called in english i think

Manstays

Pricly pear cactus fruit and those red, sea urchin lookin fruits (i forgot their name)

Edit: called rambutan fruit

Pink Lady apples for me. Can't get enough of them.

I love the kind of mangoes I used to get in the tropics. Small, very sweet, yellow skin with soft fibers. I'd plock them directly from any tree around me. The skin itself was soft and sweet so no peeling needed.

There's another kind of mango that locally we called "manga". It's bigger, often with reddish and greenish colors mixed with the yellow. It's more fibrous and significantly less sweet. I really don't like these, but it's all I can get where I live now, possibly because the ones I like are harder to preserve and export.

Strawberries

Strawberries

Durian you fools! King of fruit, a divine and complex flavour.

Toffee and onion and sour cream and mango and banana and custard and pineapple all dance together. Ah durian, the only fruit worth travelling for to eat fresh off the tree.

Durian my beloved.

Mangos taste like black pepper to me, so pretty much any other fruit tastes better.

grapefruit

Passionfruit, Mangosteen, Durian

Oranges. They taste better and it doesn't have that stringy flesh like mangoes does

A good grapefruit is so juicy and sour.. I love them!! I peel them like an orange and devour it like a ravenous wolf tearing flesh from bone.

Raspberries are also frikkin amazing. I remember as a kid, we went to a farm where you could pick your own, and I just ate so many while picking that I got sick in the field and couldn't get up. 10/10 would absolutely do again.

But honestly.. now that I think about it, I may choose a good mango over both. 🤔 But still. All 3 are excellent and amazing fruits! I wish I could try more delicious fruits I haven't had yet!

If every story was about mangoes, then every story would be better.

Good quality berries and grapes

Some berries just aren't fresh/ripe/grown. But once you get a good box of them...

I prefer the green grapes, and on the berry side I love them all: raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, various regional berries

Against the mangoes I can get my hands on? Most fruit is better.

The best mangoes are the slightly tangy, firm, fibrous ones you can find in Australia. Those are absolutely unbeatable.

Here in NZ all you can find are the sickly sweet, soft, smooth fleshed mangoes which just aren't the same. Might as well buy the tins of Kesar pulp imported from India.

Jack fruit

Pomegranates. They are my favourite. Also apples.

Froot Loops

Avocados

Persimmon!

Black grapes. They're high in antioxidants, actually taste like something, and they have this great crisp, almost crunchy yet still tender consistency. I can eat a few pounds in a sitting if I don't watch out.

MangosTEEN....because its more hip. Plus its has more letters in its name.

Tangerines, all day long.

Raspberries are the ultimate fruit, better than all others. A little sweetness, tart and tangy, good fibre, goes with everything. Mangoes are sickeningly sweet

Durian.

And banana.

Passionfruit

Mangoes aren't bad, IMHO, but if I had to give up a fruit permanently, I don't think that it'd be that near the bottom of my list. I'd rather keep standbys that are common in US grocery stores like like apples, oranges, pears, and kiwis.

No fruit is better than mangos.

Feijoa

All of them.

i really love mangoes.

It's hard to compare apples and mangos, but if we're gonna consider favorite tropical fruits, I friggin love fresh mangosteen. It's like a little fruity Bob-bom. Smooth and silky texture, creamy sweet flesh and just fantastic. They don't seem to travel well, unfortunately.

Or fresh pineapple.

I had fresh pineapple off a farmer's cart in the tropics two decades back. Afterward, I couldn't eat pineapple in the US for almost three years. It was so much better than the canned or grocery-store stuff there was just no comparison.

Persimmons and pomegranate are the fruits of the gods.

Plantains when they're fried.

By themselves, mangoes are pretty top tier

I'm not really a fan. They have a certain light taste of black pepper that ruins them for me. I guess I'm sort of like the cilantro-soap people.

Perfectly ripe cherries, pitted and frozen

I really like pears.

Oranges

I love mango especially because it can be frozen & it doesn't breakdown the texture nor the flavour. It one of the only frozen fruits I can get from grocery store that I can eat out of the package (vs. most frozen fruit is only good for smoothies etc IMO). My favorite is plums, but only from my granma's tree. Nothing sold in stores would ever be labeled "plum" if it were up to me. I also like pineapple alot. Apples, oranges, peaches, while sometimes store bought you might get a good one once in a while, homegrown (or local....basically fresh) fruit has no equal. But i practically live off fruit except during the 3 winter months.

Garcinia fruit (mangosteens and such, no relation to mangoes).

Lychee or starfruit... and sometimes durian

Jackfruit

I like soapberry fruits (lychee and rambutan).

every other one and none of them. fruits are distincitive. I love apples, grapes, oranges, kiwi, watermelon, etc etc

Pakistani mangoes

Especially if they are shipped in a crate that has been inconspicuously loaded onto an airplane.

Mangoes smell like armpits.

Refrigerate your mangos before eating! So much nicer than a lukewarm mango.

Anything else. Where my mango not likers at?

Damson plum

Sex, almost.

Strawberries.

I got very addicted to eating dragon fruit pretty much every day when I was in Vietnam. Sadly the ones I can get here in the UK are expensive and insipid, but I'm going to keep on throwing my money away in the vain hope of finding a good one.

Peacjes

Kiwi. I love kiwi so much, I eat the fuzzy skin too!

No one?

Apples

Permanently Deleted

Mangoes is one of the worst fruits it has so many sugar. Among the best fruits are papaya, melon, acerola cherry, ponkan, green grapes, pitaya. And I really like processed açaí aka açaí na tigela.

Define "better".

And if you are talking about anything other that nutritional value, then that would be mostly subjective - so no unique answer.
