Luscious, purple, sweet,
perfect summer treat.
Oh cherries that I love so true,
nothing else will ever do.

I've gone back and forth on favorite fruits, at one time is was cherries. I had a real thing for mangos as well. In the berry family I like blueberries the best.

Berries, oh......sooooooooo good!!!

Goodness... I love fruit so much it's hard to pick favorites.
Raspberries are really good, but I eat way more strawberries.

In about a month, seagrapes and cocoplums will be getting ripe. They're wild so I may be so inclined to eat as many as I can pick. They're like crabs though - a lot of work for a little flesh.

Blueberries are my favourite, with strawberries and cherries coming a close second and third.

Melons. Watermelon, honeydew etc.

Sully · « **Reply #7 on:** July 06, 2008, 09:44:57 pm »

Oh and berries too. I walk around and find wild berries. I found tons of mulberries. Delicious!

I'm missing out on berries.
I live in a tropical country and berries aren't common here.

Yellow mangoes are popular summer fruits in the Philippines.

is mango considered a stone fruit?

What's a "stone fruit"?

Craig

Raw Kyle · « **Reply #11 on:** July 09, 2008, 11:33:43 am »

I think I stone fruit is a fruit with one large seed in it. Examples are peaches and avocados.

xylothrill · « **Reply #12 on:** July 09, 2008, 12:45:11 pm »

I see.

So, sea grapes and coco plums must fit into that category too. What's the significants of a stone fruit other than it has one seed? Is there a nutritional difference?

I must tell you that mangoes would stick in between my teeth and gums like cooked meat would.

Cantaloupe/honeydew/watermelon--they aren't too sweet. Strawberries, grapes, and other berries make me cringe a little from the sweetness.

I used to eat cases of mangos when I was raw vegan and the cure I found for that is to chew on a stalk of celery after the mango gets in your teeth and the celery strands pull it out.

goodsamaritan · « **Reply #16 on:** July 19, 2008, 10:38:48 pm »

The technique to slicing mangoes is to be left with a very thin bone in the middle.
You eat the fleshy parts with a spoon.
The fleshy part doesn't stick to your teeth.
It's when you get to the seed that sticks to your teeth.

Of course I don't know if your mangoes are the same as what we got here.
I believe you also get mangoes from south america.

xylothrill · « **Reply #17 on:** July 20, 2008, 08:53:35 am »

Yellow mangoes don't really have much of the fibrous material but the red and green ones do. I've only had the yellow mangoes grown from a neighbor's own tree. The red and green fibrous ones are what's commonly sold in supermarkets and farmer's markets.

Are Philippine mangoes yellow?

Craig

goodsamaritan · « **Reply #18 on:** July 20, 2008, 10:56:16 am »

Yes.

The commercialized ones are usually the carabao mangoes. Colored yellow.
Commercial meaning they are sprayed.
They are the sweetest and taste really good.

A non-commercial one is the pico mango. More yellow orange.

The indian mango is green and grows wild without any care.

Sully · « **Reply #19 on:** July 24, 2008, 06:05:04 am »

When mango gets stuck in my teeth mostly is when i'm scraping the left over fruit off the seed.

Raw Kyle · « **Reply #20 on:** July 24, 2008, 08:26:09 am »

I don't eat around the seed much but it still gets in my teeth eventually. I used to eat a lot of them at a time (up to a dozen) and usually it would only start to get in my teeth around the second or third and it would become annoying at the 6th or so.

goodsamaritan · « **Reply #21 on:** July 24, 2008, 10:34:16 am »

Oh my gosh, 12 mangoes at a time?
I like yellow mangoes when they are in season.
But the most I can eat in 1 sitting is 2.

Raw Kyle · « **Reply #22 on:** July 25, 2008, 10:00:04 am »

That was from a fruitarian time.

William · « **Reply #23 on:** February 20, 2009, 07:43:54 am »

Peaches.

Cherrries too.

lex_rooker · « **Reply #24 on:** February 22, 2009, 09:55:00 am »

Nothing beats a tree ripe peach with the juice dripping from your chin. Darn it, now I wish I could still eat them...

Who's the masochist that started this thread anyway?
