Mangoes range greatly in size, measuring anywhere from 5 to 30 centimeters in length, and weighing from 4 ounces up to 5 pounds. They have leathery, smooth skin, and they can vary in shape from long and slender, to kidney-shaped, or even somewhat round. Their skin is multi-colored with different blends of red, yellow and green, depending on the variety. The succulent, vibrant yellow to orange flesh is aromatic and juicy, with a texture similar to a peach. The flavor is complex and sweet, with notes of peach, coconut, and vanilla or caramel, and is sometimes balanced with a slight tartness. The skin of Mangoes is inedible, and actually contains a sap that can be irritating to some people.
Mangoes are available year-round.
Mangoes are botanically classified as Mangifera Indica, which translates as “an Indian plant bearing Mangoes,” and they are known by many nicknames across the globe, such as King of Fruit, Apple of the Tropics, and even Fruit of the Gods. There are two races or strains of Mangoes, one from India and the other from the Philippines and Southeast Asia. They are a member of the cashew family alongside poison sumac and poison ivy, and contain the same itchy chemical, urushiol, in their skin. However, it’s less concentrated, and people will have different levels of reaction, or no reaction at all to contact. Mangoes are further categorized as a drupe, also known as a stone fruit. There are hundreds of varieties of Mangoes around the world, with about 1,000 in India alone, though only a few are marketed in the United States.
Mangoes are a good source of fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and potassium. They also contain natural enzymes that assist in breaking down proteins.
Mangoes can be used in both raw and cooked applications. Just like an avocado, a ripe Mango will give slightly to pressure. Note that the skin doesn't always indicate ripeness due to the variations in color among varieties. Mangoes are a popular ingredient for fresh salsas and chutneys, and are widely used in desserts and baked goods. Use Mangoes to flavor ice cream and gelato, blend or juice for smoothies and other drinks, or slice and dry for a naturally sweet snack. Mangoes contain natural enzymes that help break down proteins, and hence are commonly used in marinades to tenderize meats, like pork. In India, Mango is pureed and mixed with milk or cream and used as a dipping sauce for a type of baked pastry similar to a donut hole. In Thailand, it is used for Mango sticky rice, a traditional dessert made with rice, fresh Mango and coconut milk. The sweet-tart flavor of Mangoes compliments rich, creamy cheeses, and also balances the heat of smoky dishes, pairing well with jalapeno or chile. Mangoes can also be paired with other tropical fruits, apples, berries, citrus, melon and coconut, as well as flavors like vanilla, cinnamon, and caramel. Mangoes that are still firm will continue to ripen if stored at room temperature. Once fully ripe, they can be stored in the refrigerator for about 5 days.
Mangoes are prominent in both folklore and theology, and have been an integral part of India's culture for at least 4,000 years as a symbol of love, pleasure and prosperity. In Hinduism, the god of love, Kama, decorates his bow and arrow with five flowers, the most potent arrow tipped with a Mango blossom. In ancient holy books from India, the Mango tree is called Kalpavriksha, which is Sanskrit for "wish-granting tree," and Buddha was said to have meditated in its shade. Even the paisley pattern, which was developed in India, is based on the shape of the Mango.
Mangoes are native to Southern Asia, especially Burma and eastern India, where they have been cultivated for thousands of years. The earliest mention of Mango is in the Hindu scripture dating back to 4000 BCE, though fossil evidence indicates that the Mango could be much older than that. Historians believe that Mangoes spread across the globe in the hands of traders and travelers, like Buddhist monks who exchanged the fruit as a gift, and Persian vendors who brought the fruit westward with the spice trade. The Portuguese, who landed in Calcutta in 1498, were the first to establish a Mango trade and introduce grafting on Mango trees. During the 16th and 17th centuries, sea-faring Portuguese explorers brought the Mango to Western Africa and eventually to Brazil, and from there the fruit made its way to the West Indies. It reached Mexico in the hands of Spanish explorers in the early 19th century, and finally made its way to the US in the mid 19th century, specifically Florida and California, where the fruit is still commercially cultivated. Today, Mangoes grow in tropical and subtropical climates all over the world, notably Brazil, Mexico, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Peru.
