Filipino Blogging Day #30: Mango

Mango (mangga) is the Philippines' national fruit. It is eaten either raw or ripe. Philippine mangoes are known worldwide for their unbeatable quality and are known as the "Fruit of the Gods". Ripe (yellow) mangoes are very sweet, juicy, and soft. They are usually eaten alone, in desserts, or sometimes even with rice and ulam! Raw (green) mangoes are harder than ripe ones and are less juicy. It is eaten alone or with bagoong (fish / shrimp paste). These mangoes are Philippine MUST-TRIES (yes, with a capital letters), so don't leave without trying it!
