MESmith Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Mangoes are great. We love them at our house and buy different varieties. But we never touch the rice. There is enough fat, sugar, and cholesterol in it to automatically harden your arteries and add a couple of cm to your waistline. Nasty stuff. Having said that, mangoes are not exactly health food. One cup=25 grams of sugar! It's a dessert. a treat. You're not expected to live on it. Some exercise might be advisable, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilostmypassword Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Maybe look at the mango trees, they are just flowering. So how could it be the season yet?Southern Thailand and Northern Thailand have different growing seasons.Duh! That doesn't apply to mangoes. THey flower and bear fruit according to the length of the days.. In India, the main mango season corresponds exactly to ours.Oh, and by the way, duh! And nothing can be done anywhere to change that timing, yeh right. Fantasy land, dream on. Given the demand for mangos, if something could have been done to make all those varieties that are in great demand available all year round, basic laws of supply and demand suggest that it would have happened already. Generally speaking, varieties of fruit that ripen earlier aren't as flavorful as later ripening types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
