This is what the green mangoes here look like. Very far from the Philippines. But I never have eaten much of them than when I was pregnant. One afternoon, Hubs brought home two bags of them. I don't like them ripe because of their pungent smell, so I had green mango/es everyday for more or less two weeks.

Mangoes are know to be the king of fruits, why? I just don't know. :)

When ripe, they are a good source of vitamin C like most fruit are, beta carotene and other carotenoids. Plus, it also has some dietary fibre.

It ripens at room temperature when harvested mature. When ripe keep them in the vegetable crisper of the fridge or in a plastic and use within three days.
