This is the most amusing thing ever. Recently, I installed a sitemeter application on my blog to see who was visiting my site, how they found my blog, etc.
Tracking my visitors over the last month or so, I noticed that I get the most hits from people who google “brown mango” – the visitors come from all over the United States (California, New York, etc.) and also worldwide (England, Australia, Canada, New Zealand).
Isn’t it a peculiar thing? Last year I wrote a post Mango in the Winter are like Blind Dates. I was in Des Moines at that time and have purchased beautiful mangoes from a grocery store just to discover ugly, brown, and mushy inside flesh. Well, clearly I am not the only person with a brown mango problem. So here’s what happens. People go to google and try to find a solution for brown mangoes, and my blog comes up as the first link. Who knew!
The last few mangoes I’ve purchased were crap.I told you sitemeter is going to be addictive 🙂 I get a lot of traffic from those who search for “stuffed peppers”…go figure.
Damn, I HATE brown mangoes!! What I hate even worse is brown avocados! Or those ones with the weird stringy stuff in them. What’s up with that? They need to have fruit sonogram machines at the store.
You know you can freeze avacado’s. They freeze perfectly and you can just thaw them or put them in the microwave! My grandma has some very old book that tells you how to do all kinds of things and she found this in there and tried it!
It was very interesting for me to read the article. Thanks for it. I like such topics and anything connected to this matter. I would like to read more soon.
what if it is sorta brown inside? can i eat it? will the brown parts make me sick?
Yup, apparently you're one of the few people who have talked about brown mangoes (despite all the people searching for it). I don't really care what it looks like, but I'm just trying to figure out if I will get sick from eating mangoes that are brown inside.Anyone have a horror story? =]
This is so strange. Does it mean that they're bad? Are they harmful if eaten if they're brown?
you can still eat the mangoes! they are edible and won't harm you. it's purely the appearance. they might've been frozen during the transportation or bruised while being handled. the texture changes a bit and it doesn't look good, but you can eat them.
Well, I've been eating the brown parts and feel just fine. Â It doesn't taste much different. Â At first I thought it would be bitter or sour but it wasn't. Â
