Hello Hive

Here comes another season we are highly expecting, the time of maturity of this drupe fruits, succulent and sweet. For some it is just another of that fruit they enjoy along side other but for me I know just how much vitamin C I could obtain from consuming this particular fruit.

Your daily news of vitamin C is contained in the right quantity in this fruit. Hence I try to take as much mangoes as I can whenever it season come.

It’s a little bit sad that we cannot have this very rich fruit all year round and it is often about this time that we get ripe and ready mangoes to eat. At other times of the year, you will have to lookup at other fruits to provide your daily need of vitamin C.

In order to harness the vitamins in this fruits we can process this into mango juice and we can have our vitamins preserves all year round.
This is where we have a division of task where some people grow the crop while we have others that process these crop/fruits.

It’s a beautiful thing that we have different species of mangoes and this varies in their taste. The very one I have the most is called the Kerosene mango. People around here have it that local name because it taste like kerosene . Mangoe fruits equally varies in sizes according to their species and that kerosene mango is the one that I have seen to be among the largest in size.

Could this be hunger or cravings, the communist around here can barely wait for these mangoes to get ripe, the children are already plucking and sampling the mangoes .

I often discourage those who go ahead and pluck these mangoes unripe and use chemicals to hasten their ripening.

Even though this can serve as food and kick away hunger for a while we have to be patient for about a month for the ripening of these fruits. Different parts of the country here also grow this fruits but the trees are getting scanty by day due to deforestation and we have only few people replacing the cut down trees.
