Sitting here eating two sliced up green Julie mangoes with sea salt and hot pepper sauce - did you know dis
Green mango is rich in vitamin A, C, and E, which boosts our immunity, improves gum issues, reduces the risk of blood disorders, and helps fight many diseases by increasing white blood cells in our body.

A fruit with a higher source of vitamin C than oranges.

Poor you man

Kingston Julie tree is almost year-round bizniz almost always have blossom young ones and mature fruits.

In reply to Brerzerk

Yep but the biggest crop on our tree is between next month and May

In reply to Chrissy

Why Pepper sauce, don't you lose the flavour/taste of the mango?
I like mild pepper sauce or the whole Scotch Bonnet, for flavour.
My niece gave me a bottle of One Drop some years ago, as soon as I taste, I threw it in the garbage, it kills the flavour of the dish.

In reply to openning
Just a lil bit - enhances the flavor
Mi love pepper bro and It’s good for us

In reply to Chrissy
Yes, ours used to be Easter and Christmas

In reply to Brerzerk
This one slows down from July to November but produces all year. Right now it has green fruit, ripe fruit, small green fruit and lots of new blossoms.
The thing is the real breeze will move in shortly and we will lose some of the blossoms

In reply to Chrissy that's interesting - got to try it

In reply to Chrissy

In reply to Chrissy

Ypu hve taken me back in time early 50s to 7 Rousseau Cresent in Kingston..had three Julie
tree all in a row ..can hardly remember eating any ripe... salt was always my companion.
Never knew till now about the health benefits so that explains a lot

According to the older folks when a woman is caught eating green mangoes it is a sign they are pregnant ....

i turn the juice of the mango into a sauce or salsa with a little pepper sauce added in and use it on fish or chicken tastes great

In reply to Kay

So Chrissy pregnant?

In reply to josef
Thanks. Gotta try that sometime

In reply to josef

Green mango juice with a lii ginger, brown sugar and honey tastes just like cherry juice. There have long been rumours dat nuff commercial cherry juice in di Caribbean is full of blackie and other low cost mangoes

In reply to sudden
Must have been pregnant fi most of mi life

In reply to hubert
Had the same thought

In reply to culpepperboy

Shame on you. Only people in a certain Caribbean country could be parsimonious enough to have a conkie season. Banana leaves are available all year. There is no such thing as a conkie season.

In reply to Chrissy

Pregnant with possibilities.

In reply to Chrissy

I was going to say that you were too advanced in age to be pregnant but I prefer your response

In reply to Chrissy


My research tells me salt is salt - but some marketers are better at selling same! But the body needs salt, no doubt!
