mangoes. mmmmm.

I've always liked mango, but they are so expensive at home, so I hardly ever get them at the grocery.  India is the land of plenty when it comes to mangoes, though.  They cost about 20 rupees here, or less than $0.50.

Did you know....
  • 50% of the world's mangoes are grown in India?
  • Mango is the most consumed fruit in the world?
  • You can eat the skin of a mango if you want?
  • Mango is the national fruit of India and an important symbol in Hinduism?
  • Exported mango and fresh mango have distinctly different flavors?
  • Mango makes a delicious breakfast?
Me either!  I have one for breakfast every morning, and I will miss them dearly when we go home and can't afford to pay $3 for one. If you can, have one and think of us!
