I have Mango trees back at home!

Yes, you read that right. I grew up in India and have about 2 or 3 Mango trees in my back (and front and side) yard.

I grew up indulging in this beauty of a fruit each and every summer. How much? Probably even 3 a day. It was my absolute favorite fruit!

Buut, the one time I bought Mangoes in college when I moved here to the US, they “looked” ripe, but were so raw I just wasn’t willing to risk getting any again. I did have them over the one Summer when I went back home, but that was it.

Then Keto happened so no more Mangoes for me for because those things are way too high in sugar. And then I just forgot they existed - don’t ask how!

But now when I saw mangoes on sale, memories came flooding back and I made the plunge!
