I love to eat unripe mango(manggang hilaw) with spicy bagoong alamang (shrimp paste) on the side. I like Indiang mango and Kinalabaw. When my mom goes to market I always ask her to buy me one.I also like ripe mango I like it most as a dessert and as an ice cream flavor.The fruit flesh of a ripe mango is very sweet,with a unique taste.Dried strips of sweet mango are also popular.Mangoes are juicy with a sweet taste and high water content making them refreshing to eat. Happy mylotting my friends...

Ripe. I really don't get to appreciate the taste of unripe mango. But there maybe an exception. Like eating the native way, with native foods, grilled tilapia ,etc, unripe mango & bagoong... Yumm

I love mangoes, and really like both the ripe and unripe mango to eat, really delicious. However, I prefer the ripe mangoes, especially if it is really sweet. I love eating it over the summer, quite refreshing and juicy to eat it.

both have their own importance. i do like ripe mangoes... because of its taste.. i used to be crazy about anything sweet, since my childhood, but unripe mangoes are highly enjoyable, if u theft them from a private garden, and tasting them with a bit of chilly powder and salt. U have started a discussion which can start salivation in a minute, Gud job.

i prefer the sweet ones. personally, i cannot stand the pungent/bitter taste of green mangoes. though my mom and sister can finish a few green mangoes in one sitting specially if the fruit was dipped in bagoong. and if you'll believe me, their faces have probably been immuned from such taste. usually, when individuals eat bitter/pungent fruits, it will show in their faces and expressions. but with my mom, her face is just blank.

I love the unripe one, and so is my husband. And we terribly miss mango in the philippines but unfortunately, we seldom find any of that kind here in Michigan. there are different kinds of mangoes around but its not the same as the ones we used to buy in Philippine wet markets. We miss the crunch and the sourness of the green mangoes. We love eating that with diced onions and tomatoes topped with spicy bagoong! YUM! I love the sweet ripe ones too. I like making mango smoothies out of it.

Hey there! I like them both.. I like eating unripe mango with bagoong. Very tasty with that sour pinch. LOL.. I'd prefer Indian mango for the unripe one.. I like Kinalabaw mango to eat when ripe.. Because it is so sweet and delicious.. Very juicy.. Happy posting!

I think I just responded to a similar discussion a few minutes ago. Anyway, here's what I said: Pwede both? I absolutely love mangoes whether green or ripe. There was a time I went to Zambales for an out-of-town shoot and I chanced upon a lady in the market that sells mangoes at 10 pesos a kilo! I went nuts! I wanted to buy the entire "kaing" but I was worried about bringing them all back to manila. So I just bought five kilos but I kept thinking about buying the entire "kaing" while I was travelling back to Manila. Sayang talaga.
