Fruit Frenzy: Day 4 ~ Red Mango
Red Mango
Well, I finally discovered a fruit that I don’t like. At all.
Apparently I don’t like mangoes. They’re a bit tricky to cut since they have a big oval pit, so I made sure I was prepared for that… and at first cut I noticed that they smell a bit like pine to me. Unfortunately I thought the fruit tasted a bit like “sweet pine” as well which wasn’t much to my liking. I did manage a few bites before throwing in the towel, but I guess mangoes aren’t for me. It’s a bummer too, because they are such a beautiful fruit!
Sliced Mango--look at that rich orange color!
They weren’t terribly pricey, although more than your basic fruit: $0.99 per fruit.
Aren’t you having fun learning about all these fruits? I thought so!!! 😀

Mangoes can be tricky. If they’re not ripe enough, they really don’t taste very good. In Thailand, we ate mangoes every day and they were wonderful! It’s been a bit hit and miss here in MN, though.
I agree, Kristen! Mangos in Thailand are very different than they are here. 🙁 The ones I ate and loved were all yellow, though, so I wonder if that’s part of the issue…
I agree with you, Erica. The mangos i have tried were not at all to my liking, so i don’t eat them. But someone told me that canned mangos are really good, so I might try that. They would have to be ripe if they are canned. But that piney taste was too weird for me. I want fruity.
