Mini mangos!

[randomness]

One of the produce highlights of my visit to China was the mini mangos. They were easy to find in most grocery stores. They were yellow, between two and three inches long, and very sweet.

They were delicious, and I bought them at nearly every opportunity. I feel like they have a similar relation to larger American mangos that baby bananas have to the regular kind you encounter in supermarkets: sweeter and more flavorful, though smaller. But I cannot find them here in the States, which is not surprising but sad.

Has anyone else seen these? And if you know where to find them, please let me know.

It's funny to see a reference to "larger, American mangos" because I first really encountered mangos in Mexico, where they (and papayas) are much bigger than I ever see them here.

But the mini version sound yummy.

They are! If I ever find any here you can try them.
