I like to eat mangoes with my meal because it helps me to finish my food.

Mango season is still on-going and it started with Mangoes having a bigger price tags until the prices went down because of large supply in the market because traders have to dispose their supply faster somehow as it would mean the the said fruit will have the risk of getting wilted leading to rotting particularly now that there is an extreme heat going on which is why some fruit stalls have mangoes with wilted skin and still commands higher prices. However a highly priced mangoes in particular are the ones that are truly sweet and perfect, its peel has less blemishes and its sweet and aromatic flesh inside doesn't have any spots and damages coming from its peels. However since I like Mangoes whatever its variety is, from small and unripe to the best varieties, even those with damaged ones are really delicious for me to eat. The small and unripe Mangoes can either be fermented with some salt and water and after a few days you already can use them as a delicious side-dish for a number of foods that you basically want to accompany fir eating it. But the small fermented Mangoes are eaten with either fish cooked in vinegar plus rice or even a fried fish for that matter, it depends on you if you want to consume it with anything else. Well if you are wondering about its taste, its sourness is mellow and not sharp like if you are eating a mature but green Mangoes, then the brine from where it was fermented into tastes like pleasantly salty and sour with a hint of mango flavor. If it is perfectly fermented, then the juice has some hint of alcohol in it too. The better ones are those that are home-made where you will have to handpick the underdeveloped fallen mangoes and then go home and process it by yourself using things which are already there in your kitchen like salt, purified water, and then empty containers to make jars of fermented mangoes which you can enjoy after some days or a week even.

Both ripe and yellow Mangoes can be used to make a side-dish, a palate cleanser, drink, or a desert after you ate your meal or during meal too.

The other fruit that I always eat now are local watermelons although I can have access to those that are imported. The local watermelons that are available now are those with plain dark-skinned variety and those that are oblong-shaped and relatively small with yellow-fleshed, both of which have a thick skin while the former one has a varying degrees of sweetness, more on bland-tasting than sweet but you can have more portions of it. I don't know but maybe my mother aren't that expert in picking ones that are really sweet and haggles the seller for choosing the cheaper ones and end-up with a less sweeter ones picked by the seller. I am quite frustrated about picking the sweet ones from the store and you can determine their sweetness based on their price tags.

Farmers are at risk of a failed crop on farming watermelon because of many factors. The seeds are not cheap and most of the farmers can only do much for the quality of the soil of the farm which have pesticides from the previous crop of rice.

Generally it is hard to pick locally produced watermelons because it seems that farmers are also cash-strapped for giving the soil extra nutrients which can mean a higher-yielding watermelon farm with much better watermelon quality because most of these watermelon farms are planted after the rice harvest season or if the rice field is not conducive enough to grow rice. So the end-result are watermelons with a not really good quality with regards to its redness, sweetness, and at the same time commanding a higher price. So picking a good watermelon is like a gamble really unlike mangoes where at the look alone of the mangoes that you can really tell if it will be sweet or not.

Watermelon also makes me eat my meals so that my sense of taste will not get bored easily while having my food late in the day.

Now, with regards to accessing these seasonal fruits and I only mentioned two of them, they can easily be bought online. There are dedicated stores with a real storefront selling fruits and vegetables where they also sell online through Facebook marketplace and groups of sellers which offers customers ease of buying now. Some are vendors that advertise their products ahead of time so that you can order when the fruits arrives. I am happy now that such easy access to these particular food items are just on the tip of our fingers where the fruits will arrive to our doorstep either already paid or in a payment upon delivery option. But depending on your location from the seller in general if they are charging delivery fees, you will have to pay extra for the delivery fee based on your distance.

Depending on the vendors in general, they can use social media to help them reach a wider range of potential customers now compared before where they are only exposed in one part of street and not earning much.

Other fruit vendors near your place can just deliver them for free but sometimes you have to buy more in order to get it delivered to your house as some vendors does. Anyway, I still want to buy other fruits that are in season here in my country today but most of them are sold not to be cheap anymore, well I guess that it will never change, we are living now under the mercy of inflation that will not stop because of the status of our world where we are in to together with conflicts between nations, warring to one another and all of us paying for it with inflation because it is being funded by printed money by the trillions if not hundreds of billions so that one country's upper-hand towards its enemy will stay because otherwise another bad things will happen which will cost us more and change our lives for the worst or even end it in mere minutes.

It might be easy to buy things using the Internet but what we are noticing now are the higher prices of all commodities which we wanted to have for our needs and purposes. AT the end of the day we buy what we need because after a while now it will be all be too expensive to buy anymore because of our financial woes due to many factors outside our control.
