Once our mangoes turn ripe I will eat two every day

@allknowing these are large mangos..

Hoopefully the rest too will be free from worms. Waiting for them to ripem Hope you enjoyed that bite.

@DaddyEvil Did you eat the skin too?

@allknowing It was delicious, thank you.

Each time Iwill open those that are kept for ripening I will have a fear of there beign worms. Keeping my fingers crossed. We had guests yesterday and that cut mango was shared.

@LadyDuck They appreciated it

@allknowing - I hope all your mangoes will be worms free. I am sure your guests appreciated.

I know

@allknowing

Never heard of Banganapalli What we harvested were Mundapa and Benet Alphonso Have you eaten any this season?

@Shiva49 We had several varieties in our garden - thothapuri, mundappa, bellari, neelam and benet alphonso We now have just three - benet alphonso, mundappa and neelam each with their own characteristics, I suppose one gets used to a particular variety and tends to believe they are the best. Atleast you got to learn about different varieties being there in different countries.

@allknowing Alphonso is liked by many and I did have a bite a few days ago. I share an anecdote concerning mangoes. While I was in Indonesia, the topic became a lighthearted debate. Indians were talking about mangoes and a Pakistani gentleman said their mangoes were much sweeter. My Sri Lankan friend pitched in for Jaffna mango as the best. Then the Indonesian chipped in that their Harum Manis (Sweet Fragrance) and Mana Lagi (bring me more) were his favorites. Once we are used to one variety we tend to like them.

Yes Never bite into one without cutting

@jaylar Mangoes do not tolerate rain and that is the time they get infested.

@allknowing when the skin isn't broken.. there are no worms. I never saw worms in my mangos

They are called the king of fruit

I am sure you will get mangoes too, if you look for them.
