Do you eat mangoes? It is one of my favorite fruits... I like green mangoes specially with "bagoong". I also like fruit shakes which that are mango flavored. I also like the ripe one because it's sweet and nice to eat when summer.

Mango is my favorite fruit. I used to eat them all the time when I was in Asia. I also liked green mangoes, but just with salt. Unfortunately, from where I am right now, we don't get mangoes often. And if we did, it is so expensive.

I love all kind of mangoes. If it is a green mango, we usually add a little salt and chilly powder and make a mixture and put it on the green mango and take it. If it is a ripe mango we take it raw, as well make some delicious milk shakes, as well as some mango ice cream.

I prefer green mango cause i want to dipp it with 'bagoong'' cause it is more delicious, and looks more attractive to it, the combination of taste is good, you can't resist it.

I like to eat both ripe and raw mangoes, there are plenty of recipes that can be prepared with both besides fresh juice, and I love making them too.

hi vycess, I do love mangoes, I like both. But my favorite is the green one. I just love the taste of it, it's sour and sweet all at the same time. Dipping it to my favorite "bagoong" or salt with some chili is perfect.

I love mango, and I prefer them ripe. But when you buy them here they have travelled far and I think they're normally picked green. Sometimes it is therefor best to put them aside for a day or two after you have bought them so they get riper and juicier.
