Absolutely! I just brought home a couple of the first mangos that show up in FL Latin supermkts. Label says from Peru. The decent complex flavor is screwed up by the refrig storage, but when it ripens in 9-12 days at home I get to eat a friggin mango!!! In March!!!

Soon the Atalufo and Madame Frances Haitian mangos will show and I'll eat them too. Astringent plus sweet is fine by me.

Fiber? --- that's what toothpicks are for.

However ----- the Tommy Atkins go in the traps for baits. Gotta draw the line somewhere. lol
