That's a great idea. During the season fresh mangos drop to four per $1
(US).
We've been putting the excess in the dehydrator as mango chips but freezing
as chunks would work well.
We also get large cans of mango pulp at the Indian market which we freeze in
ice cube trays similar to your method.
The frozen mango cubes make delicious mango lassi or margaritas among other
treats.
