it depends on where the Mangoes are from.  most mangoes I've tasted while I was in the netherlands are not too sweet.  In comparison, Cebu, Philippines mangoes are still in abundance especially at this time of the year.  They remained sweet and the price is fair.

Mangoes belong to the genus Mangifera which consists of about 35 species of tropical fruiting trees in the flowering plant family Anacardiaceae. No one knows the exact origins of the mango but most believe that it is native to the Southern and Southeast Asian continent including Eastern India, Burma, and Bangladesh after fossil records were found there dating back 25 to 30 million years.The mango fruit is a drupe; when mature, it hangs from the tree on long stems. They are variable in size, from 10-25 cm long and 7-12 cm diameter, and may weigh up to 2.5 kg. The ripe fruit is variably coloured yellow, orange and red, reddest on the side facing the sun and yellow where shaded; green usually indicates that the fruit is not yet ripe, but this depends on the cultivar. When ripe, the unpeeled fruit gives off a distinctive resinous slightly sweet smell. In the center of the fruit is a single flat, oblong seed (as big as a large stone) that can be fibrous or hairless on the surface, depending on cultivar. Inside the shell, which is 1-2 mm thick, is a paper-thin lining covering a single seed, 4-7 cm long, 3-4 cm wide, 1 cm thick.\n\nThe fruit flesh of a ripe mango contains about 15% sugar, up to 1% protein, and significant amounts of vitamins A, B and C. The taste of the fruit is very sweet, with some cultivars having a slight acidic tang. The texture of the flesh varies markedly between different cultivars; some have quite a soft and pulpy texture similar to an over-ripe plum, while others have a firmer flesh much like that of a cantaloupe or avocado, and in some cultivars the flesh can contain fibrous material.\nThere are the following types of mango\nMangifera altissima\nMangifera applanata\nMangifera caesia\nMangifera camptosperma\nMangifera casturi\nMangifera decandra\nMangifera foetida\nMangifera gedebe\nMangifera griffithii\nMangifera indica\nMangifera kemanga\nMangifera laurina\nMangifera longipes\nMangifera macrocarpa\nMangifera mekongensis\nMangifera odorata\nMangifera pajang\nMangifera pentandra\nMangifera persiciformis\nMangifera quadrifida\nMangifera siamensis\nMangifera similis\nMangifera swintonioides\nMangifera sylvatica\nMangifera torquenda\nMangifera zeylanica

Townsville, Queensland, Australia is a good place to go for Christmas holidays. We sit around the pool with our icy cold drinks after eating a seafood lunch and then the Christmas roast with all the trimmings for dinner shared with immediate family.Boxing day is spent down the beach playing cricket and football and just lazing under the palm trees with all the Aunts, Uncles and cousins. You can't beat the tropics!

With normal heat during summer and rain in the catchment areas and many parts of the state I expect a very good mansoon and seasonal rainfall.\nThe prediction  for the south west mansoon  from the end of May is a good sign of favourable weather this year after a long time.

Not very good.\n\nThe pitching staff is very nice w/ Clemens, Oswalt & Petitte.  The offense is 2 guys (Berkman & Ensberg).  They do not have enough offensive firepower to make a run this year.

One never knows.  Every season that guy at Colorado State says the season is going to be horrible, but one can't predict well in advance what the strongest regions of activity are.\n\nBut, the planet does seem to be in an up-cycle for cyclone activity in general as evidenced by the rare Category 5 storm threatening Australia.  So be prepared early.

It has been okay, although not exactly the most interesting year thus far! \nAlthough it's good to see someone other than Schumacher winning races, I also find that sometimes it can be just a little tedious to see Alonso achieve first place virtually every race without any real competition.\nHowever, I think the season should pick up a bit as McLaren improve their car, and hopefully with reliability and a faster car, Raikkonen and Montoya can challenge Alonso for some wins later in the season.\nSchumacher's presence hasn't gone unnoticed either, and it was great to see him battling with Alonso earlier in the season.\nThe season so far has lacked a little so far, with very little overtaking and not a great amount of competition for the wins, mainly due to the superiority of the Renault and also Ferrari.\nMonaco made a nice (and surprising!) change, however, what with all the controversy surrounding Schumi's qualifying "error", and a great race, even though several of the contenders were hampered by reliability issues. Some brilliant overtaking by Fisichella too (though I wonder if that was mainly because people thought he was Alonso!).\nOverall, not the most entertaining of seasons so far, but hopefully that should change as the other teams develop their cars.

the world's sweetest mangoes found in the philippines because im from the Philippines!! and u can search it at google.com that Philippines is a world's sweetest mango all over the world! \n\nThe world's sweetest mango is considered to be produced in island province of Guimaras. While other countries have different varieties of the tropical mango (Mangifera indica), none of them tastes like the superbly delicious Guimaras mango, which is a variety of the popular Carabao Mango (Manginera indica). \nIn the Philippines, mango ranks third among fruit crops in production, next to banana and pineapple. \nIn 1995, the Guinness Book of World records listed the Carabao Mango as the sweetest fruit in the world.\n\n=)

Not badly, especially compared with the east and west coasts. There has been a downturn, but it's really been slight, partially because the market was not overvalued, and also because the state has enjoyed record economic growth and employment.

Lots of dry climate stuff. Olive trees, hibiscus, cactus, lots of wild flowers now cause its the end of the wet season (im in Cyprus, its an ugly ugly country by the way). Apart from that, when the dry season comes back, its just rocks and goats.

We certainly have had our share of rain.. I've been pumping out my cellar for nearly two months!  Rt 1 was closed last week for flooding. CERT (the community emergency response team) has been called to action twice so far, just to help with flood control. \n\nNo need to worry though, all in all we're doing OK.
