Question for Mango Lovers
My local supermarket is beginning to adopt everyday low pricing, which I
LOVE! for a lot of reasons. We still have the dreaded card, but some things are just everyday low priced. Mangoes are one such item. 2/$1, every week. Lemons and Limes, too. I have been buying mangoes every week. I don't eat mango everyday, but I keep them in the fridge, once they get ripe, and when I want it, it's there! I love their fragrance and prefer their taste to peaches or nectarines. While they are similar, I like the texture of mango better. I know how to cut and peel a mango. I set the mango on one of its "thin" sides, run the knife down the equator between the two halves, and when I hit the pit, I turn the knife slightly so it runs close to the pit. Then I put the mango, pit side down and slice down the other side of the pit. Finally, I trim down the sides of the mango to release any flesh that's on the edges of the pit. Then I slice the fruit lengthwise and peel each slice with a knife. My question is this: There's always so much flesh left on the pit, no matter how carefully I try to make those cuts. I hate throwing all that mango-goodness away! What do other people do? |

Mango is related to poison ivy, the smoke emitted from burning it's wood is highly toxic, as is contact with it's sap, leaves, and the skin of the fruit. Many people develop a rash from rubbing the mango's skin on various of their body parts but the flesh of the mango is perfectly safe for them to eat. http://freshmangos.com/factsmyths.html ---= BOYCOTT FRENCH--GERMAN (belgium) =--- ---= Move UNITED NATIONS To Paris =--- Sheldon ```````````` "Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation." |

I was wondering if repotting (changing out the soil) might make it a little happier. Different plant but on a happy note - my poinsettia which didn't get watered while we were on vacation and was looking decidedly pitiful has made a complete comeback and has sprouted over a dozen leaves. Rather like a boob job - from flat to fluffy. <G> Cyndi <Remove a "b" to reply> |

It hadn't been watered in a long time and had been sitting there in a cold church with wierd lighting. I just trimmed it down last week and there's tons of new leaves sprouting all over. I have't had one of these plants since I was little and we always tossed them after New Year's. It should be a fun experiment. Paula |

I > often heard that about avocado pits, thought I don't know if it's > actually true. Dunno. Mangos germinate about 20% of the time, avocados maybe 60%. I plant them in a well-draining soil in a pot with a hole in the bottom. I keep a clear plastic tray under the pots for excess water to run out. Water when the surface is dry, every 3 to 5 days or so in the winter, more often in summer when I put them outside. The soil mix is the same one I use for my bonsai. 20% peat moss, 40% washed sand (put in a strainer and run water through it to get the really fine granules out), 20% crushed granite (also called chicken grit - 1/4" size granules, also rinsed) and 20% screened soil. The granite isn't necessary and can be replaced with small gravel or nothing at all. I feed the plants once a month in winter and every two weeks in summer. Keep them pruned. Pastorio |

You're going about it all wrong. You sit in the shower to eat a mango. Cut it in half, gnaw all the flesh off the seed, then eat the flesh from the peel. Messy, for sure, but that's why you're doing it in the shower. Clean-up is just a little soap and water away. OK, not what you wanted to hear. Just chew the flesh off the seed like you would gnaw meat from a bone. BOB |

Nope. ;-) > > Meanwhile, I found chicken breasts and red and green peppers on sale at the > market, and I wanna do something spicy with chicken, mangoes and rice. > > Any ideas anyone??? Puree the mango, add some crushed pineapple and minced green onions or shallots. Set aside. Cook the rice first then toss it into the frying pan with the sliced chicken and peppers and add a bit of chicken broth, minced garlic, chopped onions and a dash of soy. Cover and stir as needed. Once the chicken is done and the peppers and onions are wilted, add the mango sauce to it. Just off the top of my head.......

I must add, that this mango was about a day or 2 away from being luscious, which was disappointing. I made a mistake at the market, I thought I had a ripe one in the fridge, turned out, I didn't. But here it is, and it was pretty tasty, if I do say so myself. If the mango had been ripe, it would have been unbelievable. This made enough for 3 portions. 2 Chicken breasts, cut into large chunks Mojo marinade (or combine lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper) ground cumin ground chipotle mexican oregano cilantro 4 cloves of garlic, chopped 1 mango, diced 1 small onion, diced 1 small green pepper, cut into chunks 1 can tomato sauce (8 oz size) olive oil Juice of one lime 1 cup frozen peas 1 cup chicken stock Arrange chicken chunks in a dish and add mojo marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Turn it to coat evenly and turn it occasionally. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and add the onions and peppers. Saute until softened, and add the garlic, and let that cook until soft but not brown. Add the chicken, marinade and all, to the skillet and let the chicken begin to brown, turning frequently. Add cumin, chipotle, oregano and cilantro to taste. Add the tomato sauce, lime juice and broth. Stir in the peas and the mango chunks. Bring to a boil and simmer about 10 minutes. Serve over rice. |
