Origins:
India, though the specific one I'm writing about is the version made in Mexico.

Where to find it: Grocery stores will have the common one (which I believe are mostly in season during the summer), I found these in Sams and I THINK they're the same ones I get in Puerto Rico which can be found in grocery stores to people selling them in the street.

My first experience: Good question. I've eaten mangos for years so I couldn't tell you. Probably given a piece of one as a child. I prefer the smaller ones than the common one because in my opinion they're more flavorful but there are many varieties.

The mango I'm talking about versus the common one:


While you could just peel off the skin and start eating the flesh (if it's not soft to the touch or green, it's not ripe yet), apparently the CORRECT way of eating it is to cut into the mango (avoiding the GIANT seed) and then cutting a square grid into the mango and... well let me just show you a picture.



Then you nom on that. Except after you do that four times, you're left with the seed and some quality fruit and no instructions on how to eat it there... so eat it how you wish!. lol

Last time I've had it:
A few days ago when my sugar dropped.
