Store Bought Mangoes
« on: October 10, 2012, 11:31:46 AM »
About a week ago I bought a box of six mangoes from Costco. These were Keitts from Mexico. I thought they were very good. Although they were very green and hard, one of my friends told me that they were very nice. So on his suggestions I bought them and I am glad I did. Within a few days, the Keitts started to turn slightly yellow at the base and smelling very sweet. As of now, I have eaten most of them except one and they were sweet, juicy, no fiber. I shelled one of the seeds and one of them had already grown some rooots. Yesterday, I stopped by Costco again and they had these beautiful Tommy Atkins from Brazil. I have bought these in the past, and although, not nearly as good as the Kents, and the Keitts that I have bought at Costco before, they have been sweet but have lacked in taste. So to satisfy my desire for Mangoes, I bought a box of eight. I will see how these TA's turn out.


Here is a pic of my only Keitt left and the TA's

the Keitts will be just OK, you'll need to slice the Tommys and put on some chile powder and lime
