Fresh Florida mangos are a whole new class of mangos if you are used to store bought mangos. The imported mangos in most grocery store simply do not compare to fresh Florida grown mangos. Imported mangos must be picked about two weeks too soon; otherwise the fruit would be rotted by the time it arrives. Imported mangos must be put in a scalding hot water bath to kill fruit flies and fruit fly larvae. The imported mangos must remain in the scalding hot water bath for an hour or more depending on the size of the fruit to ensure all fruit flies and larvae are neutralized.
