When you live in the tropics, the abundance of nature's bounty is in your hands. Not tasting fresh produce like these mangoes, watermelon and pineapple is a sin. These are real treat during summer as it harvest season -though it is available all year round - so it comes cheaper.
After India or is it the other way around, we grow the best mangoes in this part of the globe. The most famous ones as far as I know are mangoes from Cebu City and Pangasinan. Dried mangoes are turned into multi million industry as it is popular as gifts or pasalubong. It comes in different variants, shapes and sizes. A good buy for desserts and snacks.
Watermelon is a thirst quencher. I recommend this be eaten straight after slicing. Yes, you can slip this into a juicer but the taste is different now that it's liquified. I still love it eaten freshly sliced.
Like mangoes, pineapples thrive in this region. Canned pineapples are sourced from the Philippines among other countries.
Well, enjoy these tropical treats.
Looks so good. I love watermelon and could eat it all summer. We don't have it year round where I am.
