Know Your Mango

Known as the King of Fruits the world over, the mango (Mangifera indica) has been cultivated for thousands of years. Among the hundreds of varieties are fruits that are green, yellow, red, orange and deep purple; flesh that is pale yellow, deep orange, fibrous or silky smooth; and flavors that are sweet, tart, spicy or sour, sometimes tasting of coconut, lemon, orange or, well, mango.
