Welcome to you ! We always try to make everyone at home here at Sweet Tea N' Salty Air! Its Mango Season yeeeeeh! Although we lost the most marvelous Mango tree next door , thank you so much Irma! That tree put out enough fruit for everyone around to enjoy. Even the bears would come at night climb the tree and banquet on the sweet plentiful fruit. If I had to describe the taste for those who have not given them a try...…. I would say peach only better!
There are so many ways to enjoy them my favorite is simply peel the skin slice downward away from the pit which is very large, plate it up with some greek vanilla yogurt and yum!
Another great way to enjoy them is to slice them up with a splash of vinegar salt & pepper let it sit in the fridge for a bit and enjoy! Chances are when you buy your Mango at your grocer they probably will not be ripe. A very simple process is just a quick rap in newspaper or brown paper put in a dark place and forget about it for a few days . A ripe mango is soft to the touch and redish yellow in color.
