Description

The mango is indigenous to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Cultivated in many tropical regions and distributed widely in the world, mango is one of the most popularly exploited fruits for food, juice, flavor, fragrance and color.

Use mangoes in mixed fruit salads, ice cream and as exotic additions to meat dishes, stir-fry and omelets. Mango slices mix well with oranges, grapefruit and papaya. Make mango muffins or mousse.

Mature mangoes have a flavor similar to a mixture of peaches and pineapples with a light citrus undertone. Ripe mangoes may be substituted for peaches in recipes.
