any tips on picking out a good mango?
ReplyDeleteLeAnn,
ReplyDeleteTry to find mangoes that are mostly reddish/orange rather than mostly green. The green ones tend not to ripen that well. They're ripe when they give off a fruity/floral scent and give slightly (like a peach). I find that putting them in the same fruit bowl as my bananas helps them to ripen, but sometimes they take a while. Hope this helps. :)
Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, rawfoodgal! For 39 cents I'm going to pick up a few, but I'm not sure what to do with them. Any advice?
ReplyDeleteI make mango salsa with them.

Sounds yummy, thanks!
ReplyDeleteMango Pineapple salsa is AWESOME. I just cut up the two and toss with a jarred green salsa like Mrs. Renfro's and it really really good on shrimp tacos.
ReplyDeleteAlso saute chicken and red onion in butter until carmelized, toss in the mango (juicier the better) and a tablespoon of brown sugar. Once its extra soupy serve over mashed potatoes or rice or couscous etc. Its fabulous!
Hi Marcella - Both of those ideas sound really yummy. Thanks!
