One of my favorite fruit.....Mango, I relish it thoroughly and always wait in this particular season to have it. Finally we got our first box of Mangoes, I have been desperately waiting to have it. Well it is said that Mango is a very nutritious fruit, low in calories and high in antioxidants. It is a good source of Vitamin C as well. Very much needed right now...hehehe. Well I have not really dwelled much into the nutrition part of it, but all I know is I love to have it.

Some where in past I had read that you gain weight easily with eating Mangoes and it has kind of registered on my mind, I am seriously not sure if it is true or not, what I read is that it is a healthy replacement of many other snacks, but then I also do not want to over consume it, so while I love it a lot I also restrict myself to having just a couple of them in the season, with the guilt of putting on weight.

Back home in India, some friends have farms where they grow Mangoes, I normally prefer to get from direct source as then I am sure they are grown the organic way, but this year I do not see a chance of going to India in the next few months so will be having it here only. Again here we get very good export quality Mangoes so nothing to worry about on quality.

As kids I remember at my Granny's place we all cousins had to sit in one line on the floor and then Granny would serve all of us in equal share. My sister was greedier then me for it, so she would always pick up one or two pieces from my plate if my attention is not there. These are some special memories that will always stay for life.
Hubby got a box of 15 2 days back and since then every night after dinner I am having one and I am also thinking of these days, it was so much fun :-) I do not think I can get off my childishness when it comes to certain things, like this one.

Last year, beginning of 2020 when things were still normal, we had visited our friend's farm, where there were lot of Mango trees. Though January is not the season for Mangoes, but there were some raw mangoes on the trees.
