My parents sent us boxes of mangoes yesterday..
They were able to harvest almost five thousand fruits in just one tree.
They have four mango trees and all of it have fruits.
Now I'm planning to make mango graham cake and mango ice candy.
Mangoes could be made as salad too.
Come on. Let's eat mangoes.

@magallon You are so lucky to have those mangoes. I love mangoes but I prefer the ones from Guimaras Island.

@toniganzon Guimaras mangoes are one of the pride of the Philippines. Those mangoes really have the export quality.

do they pay people to help them harvest thousands of mangoes?
do they sell them?
i've been doing fruit shakes combining mangoes with bananas and apples.

@magallon when we had a lot of mangoes, my mother peeled and sliced them, put them in small ziplock bags, then store them in the freezer. i would get one pack to make the fruit shakes.
but i can't imagine the thousands of mangoes that you have!

@magallon When mango fall down on the soil, it can;t keep long. Farmer use net under the tree or use long bamboo lo, how you collect

@Chungshop They use long bamboo with a net. They are careful in picking mangoes.

It is not too big. It is the one that I posted before. Some of its fruits almost touch the ground.
They pay for two persons to collect the fruits. They spend two days to collect all the fruits.
You can try mangoes from the Philippines. It is really sweet.
I've tried mango salad, I think it was in a Thai restaurant... really nice, and they used the young, hard, and sour mangoes for it...
