mango

Sweet stone fruit

Mango is a tropical fruit with sweet, juicy orange flesh surrounding a large flat pit, covered by skin that ranges from green to yellow to red.

Native to South Asia, mangoes are now cultivated throughout tropical regions and rank among the world's most popular fruits.

The flesh can be eaten fresh, blended into smoothies, or used in chutneys and desserts.

Fresh mango with lime and chili is a perfect summer snack.
