We were at the store the other day and saw these little fruits. Mysterious but very cute. So we picked up a few to try out. Not knowing what they were, Cara started her first attempt at eating one by trying to bite through the skin.That did not work so well. The skin was sort of tough and teeth did not readily punch through.
The next try involved a knife. (Yay tools!) This worked very well and the fruit was successfully laid open. It tasted quite good and even smelled familiar. "But what is it?" we hear you ask. Turns out it is a wee little tiny mango. It even comes with its own little baby pit which is very thin and flexible (as seen in the second photo).
Having now done some research into the matter, it turns out that mangos come in all sorts of sizes and not just the 6 inch long kidney shaped one found in the grocery stores back home. Cara thinks this particular size was designed specifically as a single-serve snack and our fridge now has 5 new ones all set for the upcoming week.

Aww. They used to sell those out of the backs of trucks in Boulder. They're my favorite.
