Trader Joe's mango chunks

Messy as you wanna be

Nothing tastes like a fresh mango, but nothing's anywhere near as messy, either. Trader Joe's frozen mango chunks, which come in a bag, are just as fragrant as the real thing -- and they're a whole lot neater. The square chunks are cut from tree-ripened mangoes grown in Zamora, Mexico, and immediately frozen without any sweetening, preservatives, or artificial colors or flavors. You can thaw them out to eat as a snack, or use them as part of a snappy summer fruit salad. Even grill them on a skewer with your favorite veggies or meats. A 16-ounce bag goes for only 99 cents -- quite a bargain considering what a single fresh mango costs, and each bag contains a lot more than one mango.
