Egg sized Mangos at Mexican market what for? (I didn't buy any in a hurry)

I've read about unripe mango's for cooking is that what they are for.

I did see one cultivar online , cannot find the name
, but did see this looking for it.

It was the size of a chicken egg
I think It could of been a (novelty)gimmick to get people to try it

Or maybe a fruit I never heard of.

(edit) Oh I see what I've seen earlier online is  Dasheri mango
but that is the only one I've seen that small (I am no mango expert )
Guess I'll head to the store now.

No body
I have no Idea of your trees
I saw tiny mangos
maybe the supplier had great tasting ones
these mangos measured the size of ping pong balls

I guess
I will start a business selling crab apples
the next best thing in Florida


Just kidding is all
In suppose it was a marketing ploy to get people to buy fruit
(baby fruit Oh so cute. I am only questioning )

(hahahha owner said he'd get more ping ball sized mango's tomorrow
I am only wondering>(

I looked at pictures , and it looks like some great tasting mango's are tiny
anyone help out a novice that knows nothings about such endeavors .

People that lived through famine will eat any thing.
There are people that eat those mango.
That's why you see them taking up space at a supermarket.

Very immature green mangoes are commonly used in Indian cooking, and probably other countries in that region.  Not sure if that is what you saw or not.

[roblack]

if they are green, then probably for pickling and stuff like that.

some mangoes ripen very small.

King Lion mangoes are about as small as I've seen, not much bigger than a nice sized egg. Pretty good too.
