I found out about MY mango, I think. Like apples, there are different varieties of mangoes. Mine is very large and the flesh is very smooth. I learned about varieties on the site [|fresh mangoes]. I think mine is a Kent Mango, which they describe as follows: I love the idea of being careful about using the squeeze test!

**KENT MANGO** Florida 1944. Direct descendant of the Brooks cultivar, derived from the Sandersha seedling. The fruit is a regular oval shape, large 20 - 26 ounces, with plump cheeks, greenish-yellow color with red shoulder. Very rich and sweet with fiber-free flesh (slices clean to the pit - like butter when ripe!) A softer mango, that really should not be put to the squeeze test.

I am interested in where they are grown - I'm sure the info is out there, but I don't have the time now. I live in Belgium now, but am I eating a mango grown in the same place the mangoes I was eating when I lived in Seattle were grown? That's a great question!! I wonder how we would find out?
