These little yellow mangos are one of my new favorite fruits. They are sold under several different names, such as champagne mangos or honey mangos, and they only seem to be around during the spring and fall. I first noticed them right after we moved here, but it could be that I had overlooked them in Minnesota since they’re no more native here than they would be there.  They are slightly smaller than regular mangos and a deep yellow color when ripe. They are sweeter than regular mangos and less stringy. In fact, I think they’ve ruined me for regular mangos now. The big ones just seem bland in comparison. I saw them for the first time this year when I was grocery shopping on Saturday and bought six. I’ve already eaten three by myself. Devon loves them, too, but I think the idea of chopping one up deters him. I should be a nicer wife and chop one up for him, but I’m also a little selfish and they really are delicious.

For people that have always wanted to try mango but aren’t sure how to cut it up, here’s a nice tutorial on how to do it. The sides of the ataulfo mangos are a little smaller than the regular mango they show, but the rest is the same.
