They were selling mangoes at Aldi a few days ago. My wife bought one. I know I have a hard time next to impossible to plant the seed but know I have to remove the pit from the seed and let it germinate before planting it into the dirt. I did however manage a few years ago to get one growing from seed. I love the flavor of it but there is so little meat in the fruit that I prefer buying mango juice and drinking it instead.
mango is one my favorite fruits, i always eat together rice and its good and every time i buy fruit shake i always choose mango flavor.
All the more reason to indulge in mangoes this summer!
It's mango season now in Ph and I buy everyday.Mangoes are so nutritious and full of fiber.It helps persons with constipation problem.
My hubby is the biggest lover of mangoes. He has been gathering the seeds of the mangoes he has been eating and now when it will rain he plans to put them in the soil of the nearby park so that he may see the trees grow and have some mangoes from the trees like he used to have during his childhood.
@oksummer I love mangoes and I have them growing in my garden. I have felt the health properties all over me including the good sleep I get after eating them before bedtime.
Mangoes are abundantly grown in our place. There is an area in our place which is planted with mango. It is grown for export. It is located in one of the small islands in our region. The mango plantation is well maintained. Though it is raised in our place, the price is too costly. It is priced as an exported fruit. Our mango doesn't look like that one in the uploaded picture in this site. By the way, that kind of mango, we call it here as apple mango. As compared to our local exported grown mango, it couldn't surpass the quality, the taste, and everything.
the mango season is not back yet.
So, I don't see any mangoes on sale yet.
If there is a big offer, i would definitely not miss them!
I love to eat ripe mangoes rather than unripe ones.
I love mango. I had a mango and peach smoothie today. Made homemade.
Mango is a delicious fruit, but very expensive here. I wait till they go on special by the crate. But even there, the number in the box is small these days. If they were inexpensive I would eat them every day!
