27 : mangoes


Mango. One of my hands down favorite fruits. When you get a good, ripe one in season it's one of the best things ever.

After trying to determine if the correct plural spelling was "mangos" or "mangoes" (many say both are acceptable, btw...however, blogspot tells me that "mangos" is incorrect), I ran across an interesting fact on Wikipedia...

Mango peel and sap contain urushiol, the chemical in poison ivy and can cause a rash and other side effects in certain people.

Yikes! Thank goodness I'm not one of those people.
