A recent viral video making the rounds on Instagram shows one such massive mango collection, and it has left foodies drooling! The "mango haul" was started by a grandmother in Kerala, and her granddaughter took to social media to show it off to the world.

In the reel shared by Keerthana Smitha Shaji, we see her grandma standing in front of an open fridge that is stocked top to bottom with numerous plastic sealed bags filled with frozen mangoes for different purposes. The grandmother holds up one packet and explains that it's for making a specific type of mango curry (mango pulissery). Another bag holds ripe sliced mangoes. She points out mango packets on another shelf and clarifies that they are meant for use in a fish curry. That's not all. The grandmother suggests her granddaughter take another set and use it to cook a curry with dal, drumsticks and mangoes.

In the caption, the granddaughter explained that the side of the fridge shown in the reel is actually a freezer. "Even if power goes off, the frozen mangoes will stay intact up to 2 days without power," she claimed. Watch the complete viral video below:

"My mum, too, preserves like this and waits for me. She preserves seasons for me, and all I feel is her love ...."
