Contraindications to Kalimantan mango: peptic ulcer and erosive lesions of the mucous membrane of the digestive tract and digestive organs, stomatitis, hypotonic crisis, a tendency to diarrhea.
It should be borne in mind that in terms of the number of developing allergies, casturi is not inferior to citrus fruits - tangerines and oranges, there is so much carotene and ascorbic acid in it.
It is very important to monitor the ripeness of the fruit. Unripe casturi can provoke the development of intestinal colic, acute diarrhea, flatulence, bronchospasm.
If pregnant or small children have already tried mangoes and no allergic reactions have occurred, casteuri can be safely introduced into the diet, but in small portions.
There are special recommendations for eating mangoes. It is suggested to eat no more than 300 g of pulp per day. This means that 3 casseroles is the maximum daily portion.
How do you eat casseroles?
At home, Kalimantan mango can be eaten as convenient. But it must be borne in mind, since very ripe fruits are chosen, that the juice will flow down the chin.
How they eat casseroles so as not to get dirty. The washed fruit is spread on a saucer, cut, scooped up the appetizing pulp with a dessert spoon.
If the skin is elastic, then you can use the "hedgehog" slicing - in this form, dessert mangoes are served in restaurants. Cut the fruit in half, take out the bone, dissect the flesh with two transverse and two longitudinal cuts. Then turn the half inside out. True, for casseroles, such cutting is not very convenient - the fruit is too small in size.
Castouri recipes
There are many ways to cook Kalimantan mango. It is introduced into desserts, salads, jams and preserves.
Casturi recipes:

The marinated liver is fried until cooked, and then chopped and mixed with all the ingredients and seasoned. Eat warm.
Jam or jams can be made from castore, but the locals do not consider this use appropriate. Too little fruit is harvested - it is better to enjoy them fresh.
Interesting facts about casturi
Currently, kasturi is grown only on plantations in Indonesia, South Kalimantan and around Banjarmasin. As a crop for sale, Kalimantan mango is not popular, since fruiting is rare. In addition, varieties with a minimum fruit weight of 150 g, and casteuri barely reach 80 g, fall into retail chains.
But the Banjars are very fond of the exclusive variety and even composed a song about it, in which mango is compared to a rainbow and love. Local farmers fully satisfy the demand for this type of product, and if they sell castes in the market, then the price for them is 3-4 times higher than that of other types of premium mangoes.
Kasturi is planted on rice plantations, they take root better there. In 1980, there were attempts by the people of Deza Mataraman to plant a nursery plantation of Kalimantan mango, but the efforts were unsuccessful.
In the wild nature of the island of Cuba, there were also trees that belong to the casturi variety. They were called that - Cuban casturi. Interestingly, the skin of fresh fruits is not purple-black, but pink, with black spots.
Harvesting the fruit is not easy. Since the trees grow in a semi-wild state, they reach a decent height. Harvest pickers are like circus equilibrists. They go out to the plantations with bamboo poles in their hands, 6 m long, and equipped with soft wire baskets, similar to basketball, only without a hole. Once in the baskets, the fruits do not break. Nowadays, baskets are being replaced with halves of plastic bottles. The fruits are removed from the lower branches in the usual way - from the stairs.
People are to blame for the fact that the kasturi tree has practically disappeared in the wild. The rainforests are being ruthlessly destroyed along with the fauna. The seeds of the Kalimantan mango were spread by sloths, but they left the area. Birds, in spite of their small size, cannot swallow the fruits whole. In addition, due to the destruction of tropical parrots, which were exported without restrictions and were killed by the local population for the sake of colorful feathers for making souvenirs, the number of tephrite flies has increased. These insects are the main pests of many types of tropical fruits.
