Maybe this will drive the price of dried mango down to something a bit more affordable than $10/lb.

Am in the US, can I get some cheap mangoes plz?

I bet someone will chime in with “dried mangoes are made from mangoes not suitable for fresh eating” or whatever

They're actually made from underripe kiwi fruit

Mangoes were one of the only pieces of produce that seemed cheap to me as a Brit when I was in Central NY last month

I wasn't doubting your access to cheap mango, just expressing shock that the cheap mangoes I found in non-mango-climate-y CNY in Fall/Winter weren't a more widespread thing

In my area mangos are cheap but the presliced ones are super expensive. You pay for laziness

I wish that was true in U.K. - I love mango!

I sometimes buy ore sliced fruit when it’s marked down to like 13p for the whole box.

Wait... The guiding principle of the modern economic system 'supply and demand" can mean lower prices? When did this start?

It’s a start

Sometimes I’ll buy the sliced ones because I can see the texture. It sucks buying a big watermelon and cutting into it just to find that it’s rubbery.

give me them, I’ll single-handedly fix the problem

Although the end consumer may see some benefit, the majority of mango used commercially isn’t in fruit format or even IQF. Its likely they’ll just convert to an aseptic format and store for years. You’ll be seeing even more mango beer next year, probably.

O MIGHTY MANGOS

I’m not good enough about picking the perfect uncut watermelon that I also buy presliced. It saves money vs tossing fruit I dislike once I cut it.

As someone in ND, I also experience this annoyance. I didn't try mangos until I went to college and they had them at a salad bar (they were frozen before being thawed out) I had to ask what they were. They were delicious. Haven't had any good ones since then. I actually went to a walmart once and saw some and figured why not (they were green) and waited a long time for them to "ripen" only to be told they were mainly for cooking. -_-

We don’t even have good mangos here. Thankfully I live in Florida, where good back yard mango varieties are easy to find when they’re in season….but the mangos they sell in stores suck by comparison. Good for a smoothie or making a dessert, but otherwise not that good.

Same. While I would enjoy a mango, I mostly want to be there because it's summer.
SuchSalad4 t1_izmgjvl wrote
I'm buying a bunch and drying it. Going to freeze some as well. I'm finding giant boxes with 10 huge mangos for only $10.

Am currently there, very glad it's barely summer. We've had like 2 hot days so far, been completely comfortable otherwise. It's going to be like 26 degrees all week. Hope it keeps that up til Christmas because sitting around in a pool of sweat isn't a fun way to celebrate when some crooner is banging on about dashing through the snow. Last year was brutal.

As it happens, visiting Perth next week. Lovely fruit grown there. Adding gorging on mangos to my itinerary!

Aren't they cheap everywhere in the US... I'm in the midwest and see them constantly at like a dollar a piece, sometimes 2 for 1.

No wonder my family bought 2 box trays of mangoes!!! Lol

Me too! I’m in Los Angeles and the mangoes come from Hawaii. No over supply there.

Hawaii will ship them to you.
