SweetnJuicy Mangoes


Mmmmm It's Mango Season, again! Golden yellow/green orbs of delicious sweetness. The trees here in TS/Pescadero are full of Mangoes ripening and falling on the ground. Watch out below! It's hard to eat them without smearing the juice all over your face and getting pulp in your teeth. Mmmm sweet, juicy Mangoes! Tio :P

One of my fond memories of Cabo way back when is eating those sweet mangos and being covered in juice---we had to go jump in the ocean to cleanup!

Mulegena's Mango Facials


1- Mango Hydrating Masque:
Mix mango pulp with a bit of mayonnaise or olive oil.
Adds moisture to Baja-dry skin. Great in the winter.

2- Mango Clarifying Masque:
Mix mango pulp with fresh-squeezed lime juice.
Brightens and clarifies skin in Baja's hot summer.

3- Mango Exfoliating Masque:
Mix mango pulp with oatmeal and honey.
Remove superficial cells and stimulate circulation.

#1 and 3 you can also make quick-breads with and
#2 you can throw in a blender with some ice and tequila and really feel clarified!!!

oh...mango madness...way back when I remember eating my first baja mango and thought....THIS is a heavenly fruit...how I wish I could LIVE in heaven and just eat these things all the time.

Mulegena...great ideas...I think you should think about running a little spa here....baja gypsy does great seaweed wraps too!

I love ripe mangoes --but in Honduras, they kept trying to get us to eat them when they were not yet ripe with powdered chili----never acquired a taste for that.

But, I did learn to use the Mango tea for stomach problems and it worked!

I love the little yellow ones--the big reddish ones I am not so fond of. I have no idea what either is properly called.

Ooooh mangoes - from San Bartolo - the big red ones when they're dead ripe sweet. Cut 'em the way Judi shows and sprinkle on a bit of chili power - yum! Cut 'em into chunks and freeze them for future margaritas - or eat the frozen chunks like ice cream. Wow. I'm ready for some right now.

Those are usually quite a bit more expensive then the big ones. My neighbor, who is seldom here, has a huge tree with them. I yearly spend a few days peeling buckets of them, then slicing and freezing them. The rest of the year we eat them frozen, like ice cream. They do not freeze solid, likely because of the sugar content, and can be eaten with a spoon. Delicious !!!!

But..here in Loreto....at least another month before they start ripening.

Don't eat them all! We should be in Pescadero area at the end of the month...can't wait to go to the huerta for some mangoes!!

Don't know official names of them, but my hubby calls the big, red ones: Mangoes Manzana (apple mangoes).

We usually head out in the hills around Cabo to try and find the best, hidden mangoes. We try and get to Rancho San Francisco or Rancho San Felipe to fight with the cows over the mangoes and buy some good ranch cheese (queso fresco). Often end up at the childhood home of some friends down there; Sauzau. There's a little river that runs through, and the mango-picnic on the side of the water just makes the day! Can't wait to go back!...20 days and counting!

I am not a dermatologist, but mango slime is really good for your skin.

Long story, but many years ago my wife and I ended up smearing mango pulp all over our skin after devouring a few tasty mangos - and our skin was soft as baby butts for a few days after...we used the pits like lufa sponges.




Sh#t happens, but it makes great fertilizer

This mango must be OLD

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/34318224/vp/37140090/#37140090

I would never even consider cutting a mango anywhere but over the sink.

Not old, but not ripe enough yet. At that stage they aren't very sweet.
When we cut mangoes, we have juice everywhere. :biggrin:

I think me and my buddy Paul still hold the record for mango daiquiries at the Serenidad in Mulege. When we checked out, the bill showed we had consumed, in one delicious night at the pool bar, 21 of the good golden things.

Most of my gringo snowbird neighbors are up north in the summer -- I just jump their fences and grab the big Kens just before they ripen, put em in a plastic bag, eat one a day as they come to a delicious but firm ripeness from the seed outward.
