Description:
Mango, commonly known as ‘Aam’ in many parts of the world, is a tropical fruit that is celebrated for its sweet, juicy flesh and vibrant color. Originating in South Asia, particularly India and Southeast Asia, mangoes have been cultivated for over 4,000 years. They come in various shapes and sizes, ranging from oval to kidney-shaped, and can be green, yellow, or red when ripe. The flesh is typically golden-yellow and has a rich, aromatic flavor that varies from sweet to mildly tart. Mangoes are not only delicious but also packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They contain a large, flat pit in the center, which is surrounded by the edible flesh. The skin of the mango is usually not consumed. Mangoes are used in a variety of culinary applications, from fresh eating to smoothies, salads, and desserts. Their unique taste and texture make them a favorite fruit worldwide.
