why don't they sell the ataulfo mango here in the EU, it's so much tastier
Both are also good in the dehydrator
We call the tommy’s “petacones” where I live
By the time the ataulfo mangos are wrinkly at all, I don’t want to eat them. I like them just better that, when they’re tangier and firmer
A veggie peeler makes sure i leave zero fruit behind
Does the skin not taste bad to most people? It tastes so vile to me that I avoid mangoes altogether, unless someone (else) has peeled them and cut them up.
I love atulpho
Tommy Atkins not worth eating
This is interesting. I've never liked mangos but didn't know there were two types. So maybe I need to find one of each and see if I like one of them, thanks.
Pfft….The HADEN Mango of HAWAII for the win.
Super sugar 🎉
Rest in peace to the chef that taught me “every great chef saves themselves some scooby snacks”❤
I do Fear the Mango, I'm allergic to the skin
I needed this and didn't know it. Love when that happens 😅 and can't wait to pick out some good ripe ones!
Mango tastes like soap!🤢
A mango is my favorite fruit and my favorite fruit to blend in a blender to drink
The fiberousness is the biggest disadvantage of American style mangos. Give me an Indian-type Ataulfo or Nam Dok Mai any day of the week.
I don't aim for 1/3 of the way in. I start around the middle and go right against the pit, giving me more of the flesh of the cut off part.
I love atualfo
Thank you!
Both of those look delicious. I'll have one of each, please. ☺️
