Now, the season of mangoes begins. I stopped at a mangoes street stall to buy some. I saw there are two kinds of mangoes sold there, namely mangga harum-manis (sweet and scent mango) and mangga dermayu (Indrmayu mango) . At a glance, both of them look no different.
Harum-manis mango is oval in its shape, rounded at the top and tapers at the bottom of the fruit, The flesh is very tender with delicate Texture, smell very nice and tastes very sweet with orange color while the Dermayu mango has almost rounded shape, the texture of the flesh is a bit stiff when completely ripe, sweet and yellow color. Half-ripe fruit tastes sweet-sour and crispy.
I bought these two types of mango, 3 mangoes per kg, the price is quite reasonable, only IDR. 20,000 (U.S. $. 2.00) per kg.
After lunch, I eat it one of them until the last bite. I am going to give the rest of them to my son, my daughters and my granddaughters. 😀
sekarang, musim mangga dimulai. Saya berhenti di sebuah kios mangga jalanan untuk membeli beberapa. Saya melihat ada dua jenis mangga yang dijual di sana, yaitu mangga harum-manis dan mangga dermayu (mangga Indrmayu ). Sepintas, keduanya tampak tidak berbeda.
Mangga Harum–manis oval bentuknya, bulat di bagian atas dan mengecil di bagian bawah buah, daging buahnya sangat lembut dengan tekstur halus, baunya sangat harum dan rasanya sangat manis dengan warna oranye sedangkan mangga Dermayu memiliki bentuk bulat, tekstur daging buahnya agak kaku pada saat matang, manis dan warnanya kuning. Buah setengah matang rasanya manis–asam dan renyah.
Saya membeli kedua jenis mangga itu, masing-masing 3 mangga per kilo, harganya cukup murah, hanya Rp. 20.000 (US $. 2,00) per kilo.
Setelah makan siang, saya makan salah satu dari mangga-mangga itu sampai gigitan terakhir. Saya akan memberikan yang lainnya untuk putra-putri saya dan cucu perempuan saya. 😀
We grow mangoes here in Florida, but they are actually expensive to buy. We get the best deals when shipments come in from other countries. Go figure?

Yes! When we were children you used to make such a mess of ourselves with mango. My mother is allergic to them. So after we ate them, we had to get in the outside laundry tub and be washed down before we could go near our mother. We were covered in juice after eating mangoes.
