My favourite fruit is the mango. I discovered a few years back that there are many different varieties to pick from, though that might not be obvious from the look of our local supermarket shelves. Of the various varieties there is one that stands out above the rest and that is the “honey” mango that comes with a rich velvety and sweet taste. These honey mango fruits tend to grow or be grown in limited latitudes so getting hold of them in the UK isn’t easy. They are also seasonal. However often they can be bought in some of the Asian stores and occasionally in the supermarket. We have had to pay well over a pound apiece if not more but they are typically flown in.
Today we bought a box of 12 at £12 a piece. They had been flown in from India by Etihad airways.
The last mango I ate was back before my dietary changes in February. However I did have a couple of these today. The honey mango isn’t so often large in size and typically contains a large stone. These two today were absolutely delicious.
I suspect that notwithstanding my carb intake for the day was inside the 130 gram range, though I also suspect two in one go might not be such a great idea. But it is not as if I eat them everyday.
Here is an article on the very fruit:
