Mangoes are supposed to be 'heat producing' for the body. They are also not easily digestible. It is a good idea to soak them in clean water for an hour after pinching away the stalk. This will remove the heat producing property of the mangoes and will also wash away the pesticide residues.

Honey from the flowers of Neem

I found a 'swadeshi ' brand Neem flower honey in a supermarket in India.I've never come across this kind of honey before.
It claims  to improve eyesight and the complexion of a person and also helps diabetic patients.It is also said to be a good blood purifier.
The honey is not heavy and quite free flowing with a delicious bitter aftertaste.
