Meanwhile, there are believed to be more than a thousand mango species. The "manga" variety is interesting because it is missing the fiber that can cling between the teeth. But I find the wild mangos to be much more delicious, especially the ones I tried growing on the Canary Islands, or on the north of Maui (a Hawaiian island). These wild mangos are much more aromatic. I found them to be a wonderful refreshment during my hikes in the mountains there. On Haiti, I planted hundreds of fruit trees, among them are many mango trees. There, in Jacmel, there are so many mangos during the mango season that the local people are fed up with them. The "Oeuvre Bienfaisante d´Haiti" (a non-profit organization focused on helping people in Haiti) is working to build a solar-powered machine for drying mangos, and selling the fruits to the inhabitants of the semi-arid, dry Northwest part of the country.
