 Mango is purportedly the most widely consumed fresh fruit in the world,with worldwide production exceeding 17 million metric tons a year,the mango comes in over 50 varieties,ranging in color from greenish, yellowish,to reddish,often tinged with purple,pink,orange-yellow.It is a member of the Anacardiaceae family and is a distant relative of the pistachio and cashew trees. 
Mangos originated in northeast India,north western Myanmar and Bangladesh,fossil records were found them dating back 25 to 30 million years.It reached Mexico in the early 19th century, and finally reached the United States in 1860.
Mangos are mentioned in many famous epic and theological writings,including the Vedas,Hinduism’s sacred books;and also in the Ramayana,one of India’s most legendary Sanskrit poems,which tells the story of Prince Rama’s journeys in life.In Sanskrit poetry and metaphors,mangos are also referred to as the kalpavriksha,“the wish-granting trees”, because of their taste and their symbolic meaning.Sanskrit is the classical language of ancient India.The name mango itself comes from the Dravidian word mânkây : mân, mango tree + kây, meaning fruit.The fruit is commonly known as mango in most countries,with slight variations in Portuguese (manga) and French (mangue).Mexico is the largest exporter of mangoes in the world now.Here I am going to give you a party hit and easy to make recipe "The Irresistable Mango Punch".Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with me,Usha aunty.
