Chooks Aloud Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 I normally do - but since someone said that advocados should be avoided, I wondered if it was the same for mangoes? Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 mangoes always smell of petrol IMO, I'm not keen. Papaya is nicer and papaya mixed with strawberries is gorgeous, try them with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I normally do - but since someone said that advocados should be avoided, I wondered if it was the same for mangoes? Karen Avocados and mangoes aren't related - I just did a Google and found this interesting page: http://www.calgaryallergy.ca/Articles/English/botanical.htm#by_Food_Family Mangoes are related to cashews, whereas avocados are related to laurel.

Chooks Aloud Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks everyone - I made some mango/pineapple smoothies for the family and there was some left over so gave it to the chooks. They loved it. They really are just walking dustbins. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
