If you live on the East Coast, you're probably stuck inside amidst a Noreaster. Many of us were not prepared for this storm that started yesterday and didn't get a chance to battle the masses in an effort to get groceries to weather the storm. Feeding Fre(e)nzy is interested in how many of you would try to purchase a week's worth of groceries via an online merchant? NetGrocer is one of the largest providers. We'll make it one step easier by providing some recommended weekly recipes and shopping lists. Top entries for recipe and shopping list suggestions including what you don't miss about the grocery store will be considered for a contest.
Submission deadline: Sunday, March 8th 5:00pm EST.

Did you know that mangoes are known as the "king of fruit"? The mango has been grown in Southeast Asia for more than 4,000 years. According to Indian legend, Budda found tranquility in a mango grove. Mangos are a symbol of love, some people believe that the mango tree can gran wishes.
Whether the mango can grant your wishes or not I can grant you that the mango is a great tasting fruit that has health benefits to boot.
Mangoes are a high volume food, meaning they contain a high percentage of water, so you get a lot of fruit for not a lot of calories (about 135 calories for a whole mango). Mangoes have a lot of potassium, vitamin A and beta-carotene, plus they have some vitamin C, vitamin K, calcium, phosphorous, and magnesium!
Eat a mango and wish for summer!
Mango is eaten unripe as well as ripe. When green, it is tart and crunchy and serves as a savory vegetable; it also contains enzymes that tenderize meat. The green fruit is usually used peeled and shredded or sliced into salads and it is good in soups and ragouts too. Western supermarkets often won't put green mangoes out, Asian markets always have them. Ask your grocer to provide green mangoes for your Asian recipes.
