In a message dated 98-01-06 22:56:01 EST, you write: << FYI, the best mangos available for sale in USA are variety "Kent", imported from Mexico, which come mid-July through first week of August (plus or minus, depending on weather like all crops, of course). The next best variety is probably "Keitt", which immediately follows Kent: although some Keitt fruits are wonderful, in general you can expect Kent fruits to be much superior, however, in flavor, color, sweetness, and texture. --- Brent >> ______________ Brent, Thanks for the advice--I will look for Kent fruits, most of what I have seen in the store is green with orange and appear almost soft, but hope it will puree for making salsa.
