My Mango has an attitude adjustment disorder
Why is it that sometimes when I consume some tropical fruits, I find them disgusting to consume on their own? Take ripe mango for example. I sliced into one yesterday and ate it "mono" style - plain old ripe mango. It just slid around in my mouth like the feeling I used to have eating sushi. Star fruit in all their interesting configuration turn me off. Papaya is strange too because I don't know what to do with the silly seeds. Though I am good with the textures of avocado and banana. Any suggestions on how to eat a ripe Mango and other wet palatable fruit?

My favorite thing to do with ripe mango is to make a simple salsa: mango, tomato, red onion, chives, an oil of your choice, some freshly ground black pepper, celtic sea salt, maybe a little cilantro and pineapple (jalapeno if you like it more spicy) and there you go! As for papaya, the best thing I can tell you is to try it with pomegranate, which is how I love to eat it. As for the papaya seeds, there are plenty of things you can do with them but I am not yet cool enough to know what they are :) Keep trying new things!

Another method of consuming a VERY ripe mango involves minimal knife work - just start mushing it up in the skin, make it all squelchy in it's own skin, then you either bite or cut a small whole at the end of the mango and suck - you have instant freshly squeezed mono mango smoothie, no blender required.

Ive found that the seeds of papaya have a peppery taste when eaten, so Im thinking of grinding them and using them as a spice. I love papaya bended with banana, pineapple, mango and coconut in a smoothie. Its awesome.

The other thing you might find as you continue on your raw journey is that your food preferences shift MARKEDLY. Eg, right now, mangoes=yech. A few months down the track, they might be all you feel like eating.
It's pretty common, as your body adjusts, for your preferences to shift too.
Me, I just shove mangoes in a fruit salad - they add a nice level of 'wetness' to the salad - almost like a sauce. That works a treat! :)

Blend your mango or papaya w/ banana; add some spices ~ potentially cardamom OR, nutmeg and cinnamon OR, maybe pumpkin pie spice and make it into a "pudding". The texture changes.
I understand the texture thing. I could never eat bananas alone as a child. When I moved to Ca., avos were the WORST! Now, I can consume them all. I love the slippery feel of a ripe, juicy mango sliding down my throat. I don't eat papaya alone still though.

skin his eyeballs? how do you do that?
yup totally agree Loren...or you could mix the pulp back into the juice or blend them ??
nope. i don't like to label myself if I can help it.
I am not handy enough.
I would encourage you to eat oranges instead Vampi. Whole food is always best. Oranges are a perfect food; lots of sugar, and lots of fiber to slow down the absorption into the blood stream. Take out all the fiber and you've got a blood sugar spik...
thanks LL...
ohhh Vamps,you are cute
what "groundbreaking discoveries" have been made in recent years, just asking ;)
