Mango

Mangos are a still-elusive fruit for many Americans. Almost everyone we know has a story about being handed a mango for the first time and not being quite sure what to do with it. Do you eat it whole? Cut it up? How do you get a knife through it? Or do you cook it? If so, how? Confusion reigns.

However, once you try one, you’re hooked! Susan’s grandmother was given a mango in her youth and had that confused reaction; however, once she tried it she found she loved it!

Mangos have a rich, sweet flavor that’s incomparable. It’s a flavor that makes a great lollipop. (My daughter likes mango lollipops so much, I once used that to get her to try mango ice cream.) It was the second-highest scoring fruit flavor at our tasting party, so you know it’s going to be good.

You can find Mango in a single-flavor twelve pack or as part of the Fruit Basket collection in our Etsy store.
