1973 Conversations and Morning Walks

Mango is the best.
Morning Walk -- April 28, 1973, Los Angeles:

Svarūpa Dāmodara: (Bengali) Phala. Phala. What type of fruit is the best?

Prabhupāda:Fruit?

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Yes.

Prabhupāda: Mango is the best.

Brahmānanda: And that dried mango.

Prabhupāda: No, any mango.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: (Bengali)

Prabhupāda: No, mango is the king of fruits.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: I bought some mangos, but the inside was so bad. Come from...

Prabhupāda: Well...

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Not very fresh here.

Prabhupāda: No.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: They don't taste like mangos.

Prabhupāda: You can, you can try to get mango dried, amsattva. (?)

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Amsattva.

Prabhupāda: You know that amsattva?

Svarūpa Dāmodara: (Bengali)

Prabhupāda: Dried mango juice.

Brahmānanda: In a slab.

Prabhupāda: In slab, they're available.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Oh.

Prabhupāda: You can try in that Indian's... They call amaut. Amaut or amsattva. (?)

Svarūpa Dāmodara: (Bengali) From Ceylon they get some mangos, but they come in, in cans, with some juice. That's not very good. From Ceylon. (pause)

Prabhupāda: Mango is tropical fruit?

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Huh, tropical fruit. Therefore it's very good in Hawaii and in India and all tropical countries. Because nature makes the sugar inside. Forms sugar, carbohydrate, in the reaction of carbon dioxide and the water...

Prabhupāda: But we take it without analysis.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: They are studying how the banana is making sugar inside by nature. (end)
