Break out of your apple a day rut. summer is peak mango season. They're a good source of vitamin C and contain beta carotine, which helps boost immunity and may reduce the risk of cancer. Ripe mangoes feel fairly firm when pressed and have a fruity aroma. They can be a green, yellow, orange, and red. To cut one, stand it up and slice down the middle and around the seed. Remove the seed. Hold one half with the peel side down, and score the fruit into a grid. Use both hands to bend the peel backward. Cut cubes along peel.

mmmm... MANGOES! im a mango fanatic myself, I love mangoes and I eat more than 1pc a day, its so refreshing specially if you got the sweet one, kinda expensive though but very much worth it, I like to eat it while its cold, during the hottest time of the day say like about 1- 2 o'clock in the afternoon, well since im currently pregnant i think i should be eating more. Yes indeed, mangoes is the best fruit for summer for me :)

I LOVE mangoes! I also love pineapple, strawberries, white peaches and nectarines, cherries, kiwifruit, rockmelons (cantaloupe) and just about any summer fruit!

Forgot to add - for the mango - no need to turn it inside out - once oyu cut it (or even if you don't) you can use a large spoon to scoop out the mango between flesh and skin - it works better than a knife because the mango is curved too!

I love mangoes. In summer I like to eat more fruits of any kind than winter. Other than mango I like watermelon, pineapple, jack fruit etc. I know we can find watermelon and pineapple round the year, but in summer it feels good to eat.

mangoes are great during summertime, but is still prefer watermelon. its juicy and semi crunchy texture makes it perfect for the heat of the day. :)
