I love all the wonderful fruit they have in South America. So many varieties, and it’s all so fresh and ripe. I think I may have been born on the wrong continent…
My favorite fruit is mango, and I ate lots while we were in Peru, but I also got to try lots of new ones and wanted to share the experience with you.
So this video is a compilation of clips from the three months we spent in various parts of southern Peru.
I had many happy days heading to the markets to visit my fruit ladies and pick out the best mangoes, and see what other goodness they had to show me.
Not only are there fruits that I’d never heard of (like tumbo, which I didn’t get on film), but they have varieties of each one.
I saw 4 different types of mangoes (one was terribly disappointing, but the other three were phenomenal), 2 types of papaya and so many types of bananas.
After having at least one mango a day for three months, I’m going through a bit of withdrawal…
