Your mangoes might not be raw
« on: June 28, 2013, 05:55:09 am »
If you live in the U.S. and your mangoes are imported, they might not be raw.

I noticed on a box of mangoes I bought it said "hot water treated" and did some googling. I can't find where I saw it but mangoes are put into a bath of 117 degrees Fahrenheit for 60-120 minutes.

How many other fruits, vegetables, and (we already know) nuts are heat treated?

Thanks for the heads up. Most imported fruits and veggies are required to be either heated, sprayed with chemicals or irradiated, per this:
http://www.aphis.usda.gov/import_export/plants/manuals/ports/downloads/treatment.pdf

If you want to avoid that in the USA, you'll need to eat US fruits, and probably mostly local.

I guess Frealee isn't the only "100% raw" 811er who isn't really 100% raw. lol

Other dangers with mangoes is that most are sprayed to flower, then sprayed so the fruit is not eaten by some fungus growth, then some are stored in kalburo chemical like gunpowder to force ripen.
