Cooking with mangoes
Mangoes are soft, sweet and fragrant when ripe. They blend into smoothies and lassis, top yogurt and rice puddings, and make a fresh salsa for fish or chicken. Green, unripe mango is tangy and good in salads and chutneys.
Mangoes are juicier and more tropical than apples or peaches. They have a large flat pit, so cutting takes a little care. Their bright flavor pairs well with lime, chili and coconut.
Questions folks ask
