BAUNO or WHITE MANGO

PLEASE CLICK ON THE THUMBNAIL PHOTOS TO ENLARGE...

My mom arrived from her travel from Gingoog City. When we met her at Jollibee Gaisano Mall, she had a bag full of "Bauno" or otherwise called as White Mango. A fruit that can only be found in Gingoog's mountains..

My mother loves this fruit so much. She also discovered this from her friends in the NCIP. If my mother did not work closely with the tribal communities, I doubt we'd ever be able to get to know exotic fruits such as this..

See how the meat looks? It's white. It's also milky when you eat it this way..

In an attempt to make it more exciting, I decided to make a candied Bauno.. I used my handy dandy oven toaster. I simply peeled one Bauno, washed it, and placed it on the tray. Poured brown sugar on top for the syrup, and boy, it was oh so YUMMY..

When all the brown sugar melted, it softened the Bauno.. Best eaten while still warm and topped with Vanilla ice cream..
