does anyone know why I can buy a Mango for 79 whole english pence

yet I look at the fair trade Mangoes in the box next to the 79 pence ones, and they are 1.98 ?????

Thats a massive difference in price, the bananas arent that much different in price

Oh, and when is the best time to eat them, and how long do they last (no dates on them)

I actually think fairtrade bananas are worth it, one of the few fruits that are tbh.

The best time to eat them is when they are ripe

i googled for you, Sonic

Mango season is apparently May to September. Place ripened fruit in a plastic bag in the refrigerator up to five days. Unripened fruit may be ripened in a brown bag at room temperature for two days.

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. When ripe, the unpeeled fruit gives off a distinctive resinous slightly sweet smell.

I never knew mangoes are in the same family as poison ivy, and some people have a skin reaction if they touch the fruit skin. But if someone else peels it for them, they can eat the fruit

King RA we do get Fair Trade Bananas

but I didnt quite agree with the extortionate price of the fair trade mangoes

These are still green, and just in the fruit basket at the moment, they have started to go slightly yellow tho might try them in a brown bag now
