Pointing out stories you may have missed. This is mango's moment. For the first time, India, the world's largest producer of the world's favorite fruit, has been granted access to the U.S. market. Best of all, it's the particularly coveted Alphonso variety that is on its way to grocers. And the Washington area's native Indian population can't wait. "People are phoning all day long, asking when we will have them," says Pankaj Sheth, owner of Patel Brothers, an Indian market in Langley Park. "At home we always eat them. They are the top of the line." Sheth is trying to get Alphonsos in stock but isn't sure when they'll arrive. The vast majority of mangoes sold in this country are imported from Central and South America.News source: Washington Post.
