Mango-lovers' Mango

If you haven't yet, try a Keitt

Doc was in a rare mood this morning... unpacking Keitt mangos and making with the jokes. But it was no joke when I tasted the slice of Keitt mango that he offered. It was simply the very best mango ever! A true mango-lovers' mango.

The Keitt is a large-sized mango, similar to the Haden variety. Although they are fully green when ripe, the flesh is soft to the touch. The Keitt is left on the tree longer than other varieties, producing a very sweet fruit, and their texture is less fibrous.

Did you know that mangos contain enzymes useful for tenderizing meats and also act as a digestive aid?

Our Keitt Mangos are on sale this week for only $.99! Get 'em while they last! 

 

Cucumber Mango Salad

For a delightful summer treat, or as a side for grilled poultry or fish, use Keitt Mango and fresh-picked pickling cukes.
 
1 cup Cucumber, diced                      
¼ teaspoon chili powder
1 cup Mango, peeled and diced         
Juice of 1 lime
1 cup jicama, peeled and diced         
¼ cup red onion, minced                    
Pinch salt and sugar
Cilantro leaves
                                     
Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl
Add cilantro just before serving.
