Millennials Eat — Mangoes!

 

Who buys mangoes? Retail editor Ashley Nickle and designer and copy editor Amelia Freidline dig into The Packer's Fresh Trends consumer data to bring you the details. 

They also address generation-based conflation of mangoes and bell peppers that prompted Amelia's column on the "great green pepper 'mango' mystery," plus an interview with Amelia's grandfather.

We also check out a delightful and millennial-friendly (Ashley's definition) mango recipe from Amelia.

You can find other episodes of this series in the Videos section of the website. Some of the previous featured fruits and vegetables include avocados, sweet corn, blueberries, potatoes, bananas and many more.
