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.

I recall seeing smallish yellow mangos at the H Mart near my parents' in Silver Spring. People were buying flats of them.

We asked the woman in front of us about them -- she said that they were great and that this store was the only place to buy mangos. (Interestingly, she was Latina -- she told us where she was from but i don't remember.)

I don't think the mangos were small enough to call mini, though.

Maybe I'll try H Mart up here! Excellent idea.
