Mango harvest in India



The New York Times recently featured a great piece about the current peak of mango season in India. For you mango fans out there, the piece should be both a delight and a tease, as the U.S. has yet to begin importing mangoes from India. That is scheduled to change though, hopefully soon. The NYT's John Allen tours Mumbai, rhapsodizing about the famed Alphonso mangoes and the various incarnations of the sweet, golden fruit. If that isn't enough to make us state-side mango fans jealous, Allen reports spending little over $1 on some of the finest specimens.

There are many ways to enjoy it, but my most favorite way is to peel the skin off with a sharpe knife, just like you do with an apple. Then cut the juicy flesh into bite sized pieces, and enjoy it just like that.

There's only one seed in each mango, and the flesh near it sometimes tends to be fibrous. Excessive consumption of mangoes could easily raise the internal temperature of the body. My nose bleeds when I eat too much mangoes. But it's a perfectly delicious fruit.
