The mango (Mangifera spp.; plural mangos or
mangoes) is a genus of about 35 species of tropical fruiting trees
in the flowering plant family Anacardiaceae, native to India and
Indo-China, of which the Indian Mango M. indica is by far the most
important commercially.
Reference to mangos as the "food of the gods" can be found in the
Hindu Vedas, written in about 4000 B.C. The name of the fruit comes
from the Tamil word man-kay, which was corrupted to manga by the
Portuguese when they explored western India. The mango also features
as a common motif, known as the paisley, in Indian textiles. |
