Mangoes in the Philippines come in several varieties. In our home, we have 4 different types of mangoes each having their distinct sweetness/sourness and texture. One of my favourites is the 'carabao' mango which has a long oval shape. When they are ripe, they are so sweet you won't get enough of them. Another local fave is the 'apple mango', and yes, by its name alone, you can tell they are really this very sweet and crunchy small-medium mangoes shaped like apples. The sweetness of this type is perfectly balaced with a guave-like taste. They are perfect as appetizers. Next we have the most common ripe yellow mangoes very good after meals. They are very sweet and also best when chilled. I am very proud of our mangoes here in the country. It has become popularly tied to Pinoy culture.

Wow mango.... I love this exotic fruit. I don't know if the mangos I buy are from Philippines, I should ask this to my greengrocer, but the mangos I eat are very good and special. Mango is a very sweet fruit, and I love sweet foods. I love tropical fruit, above all mango, papaya, ananas, coconut and banana. I love avogado too, but I think it's a vegetable not a fruit.
