What To Do About EATING MANGOS

Mangos are under-rated in the wide world of fruits in my opinion, but they are slowly creeping their way towards the top on my list of favorite fruits. The two types of mango that I’ve eaten are champaign mangos and red mangos.

Champaign mangos usually have a yellow skin color with a bit of green in there as well. The fruit itself inside is also yellow. If you eat an unripe champaign mango it usually has a lemony tart taste, but when it is ripe it is sweet and oh so good!

Red mangos have a red and green skin (and I believe that is why they are called Red mangos) and the fruit inside is more of an orange/yellow color. The texture of the fruit is more stringy than a champaign mango, but still sweet and tasty.

There are all sorts of creative ways to eat mangos! I would like to eat some homemade mango custard or make mango popsicles at some point. If you have any creative suggestions on what to make with mangos or other types of mango that you enjoy, then leave a comment below!

    Actually just today I had pineapple mango juice that I made from my Jack Lalanne Power Juicer. And I used the left over pulp to put into my oatmeal.
  • Nice! I like how you found a use for the pulp, way to use the whole fruit!

    Manda loves mangoes.

    They are seriously my favorite fruit.
    Absolutely amazing.
  • I wanna have a mango party. What's a mango party? I don't know but I wanna have one.
  • Being a Jamaican, mangoes have always been a part of my life. It is my favorite fruit, and is something that when you cut it, you immediately put your mouth to it so you don't waste the juice!

    My parents have 2 mango trees in the backyard, one is an East Indian mango tree, and the other is a Julie mango tree. East Indian mangoes are tricky because they are very stringy (many fibers) and you always have to floss after eating them, but the julie mangoes are the besttttttt.


    Also Nate, if you go to an asian market, ask for the dried mango slices. They come in little bags, and are a great snack!
  • I want a mango tree in my backyard, thats awesome your folks have 2.
