A mango is an edible stone fruit produced by the tropical tree Mangifera indica. It originated from the region between northwestern Myanmar, Bangladesh, and northeastern India.<ref name="Kuhn"/><ref name="Warschefsky"/> M. indica has been cultivated in South and Southeast Asia since ancient times resulting in two types of modern mango cultivars: the "Indian type" and the "Southeast Asian type".<ref name="Kuhn"/><ref name="Warschefsky"/> Other species in the genus Mangifera also produce edible fruits that are also called "mangoes", the majority of which are found in the Malesian ecoregion.<ref name="Sherman">Template:Cite journal</ref>
Worldwide, there are several hundred cultivars of mango. Depending on the cultivar, mango fruit varies in size, shape, sweetness, skin color, and flesh color, which may be pale yellow, gold, green, or orange.<ref name="Morton">Template:Cite book</ref> Mango is the national fruit of India, Pakistan and the Philippines,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> while the mango tree is the national tree of Bangladesh.<ref name="bdnews24.com">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
EtymologyEdit
The English word mango (plural mangoes or mangos) originated in the 16th century from the Portuguese word {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, from the Malay {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, and ultimately from the Tamil {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, 'mango tree') + {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, 'unripe fruit/vegetable')<ref name="oed">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="prakash">Template:Cite book</ref> or the Malayalam {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, 'mango tree') + {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, 'unripe fruit').<ref name="OxfordED">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The scientific name, Mangifera indica, refers to a plant bearing mangoes in India.<ref name=prakash/>
DescriptionEdit
Mango trees grow to Template:Convert tall, with a crown radius of Template:Convert. The trees are long-lived, as some specimens still fruit after 300 years.<ref name=Californiararefruitgrowers>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
In deep soil, the taproot descends to a depth of Template:Convert, with profuse, wide-spreading feeder roots and anchor roots penetrating deeply into the soil.<ref name=Morton/> The leaves are evergreen, alternate, simple, Template:Convert long, and Template:Convert broad; when the leaves are young they are orange-pink, rapidly changing to a dark, glossy red, then dark green as they mature.<ref name=Morton/> The flowers are produced in terminal panicles Template:Convert long; each flower is small and white with five petals Template:Convert long, with a mild, sweet fragrance.<ref name=Morton/> Over 500 varieties of mangoes are known,<ref name=Morton/> many of which ripen in summer, while some give a double crop.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The fruit takes four to five months from flowering to ripening.<ref name=Morton/>
The ripe fruit varies according to cultivar in size, shape, color, sweetness, and eating quality.<ref name=Morton/> Depending on the cultivar, fruits are variously yellow, orange, red, or green.<ref name=Morton/> The fruit has a single flat, oblong pit that can be fibrous or hairy on the surface and does not separate easily from the pulp.<ref name=Morton/> The fruits may be somewhat round, oval, or kidney-shaped, ranging from Template:Convert in length and from Template:Convert to Template:Convert in weight per individual fruit.<ref name=Morton/> The skin is leather-like, waxy, smooth, and fragrant, with colors ranging from green to yellow, yellow-orange, yellow-red, or blushed with various shades of red, purple, pink, or yellow when fully ripe.<ref name=Morton/>
Ripe intact mangoes give off a distinctive resinous, sweet smell.<ref name=Morton/> Inside the pit Template:Convert thick is a thin lining covering a single seed, Template:Convert long. Mangoes have recalcitrant seeds which do not survive freezing and drying.<ref name="osu">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Mango trees grow readily from seeds, with germination success highest when seeds are obtained from mature fruits.<ref name=Morton/>

TaxonomyEdit
Mangoes originated from the region between northwestern Myanmar, Bangladesh, and northeastern India.<ref name="Kuhn"/><ref name="Warschefsky"/> The mango is considered an evolutionary anachronism, whereby seed dispersal was once accomplished by a now-extinct evolutionary forager, such as a megafauna mammal.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
From their center of origin, mangoes diverged into two genetically distinct populations: the subtropical Indian group and the tropical Southeast Asian group. The Indian group is characterized by having monoembryonic fruits, while polyembryonic fruits characterize the Southeast Asian group.<ref name="Kuhn">Template:Cite journal</ref><ref name="Warschefsky">Template:Cite journal</ref>
It was previously believed that mangoes originated from a single domestication event in South Asia before being spread to Southeast Asia, but a 2019 study found no evidence of a center of diversity in India. Instead, it identified a higher unique genetic diversity in Southeast Asian cultivars than in Indian cultivars, indicating that mangoes may have originally been domesticated first in Southeast Asia before being introduced to South Asia. However, the authors also cautioned that the diversity in Southeast Asian mangoes might be the result of other reasons (like interspecific hybridization with other Mangifera species native to the Malesian ecoregion). Nevertheless, the existence of two distinct genetic populations also identified by the study indicates that the domestication of the mango is more complex than previously assumed and would at least indicate multiple domestication events in Southeast Asia and South Asia.<ref name="Kuhn"/><ref name="Warschefsky"/>
CultivarsEdit
{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}}
There are hundreds of named mango cultivars. In mango orchards, several cultivars are often grown to improve pollination. Many desired cultivars are monoembryonic and must be propagated by grafting, or they do not breed true. A common monoembryonic cultivar is 'Alphonso', an important export product, considered "the king of mangoes".<ref name="NYTAllen" />
Cultivars that excel in one climate may fail elsewhere. For example, Indian cultivars such as 'Julie,' a prolific cultivar in Jamaica, require annual fungicide treatments to escape the lethal fungal disease anthracnose in Florida. Asian mangoes are resistant to anthracnose.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The current western market is dominated by the cultivar 'Tommy Atkins', a seedling of 'Haden' that first fruited in 1940 in southern Florida and was initially rejected commercially by Florida researchers.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Growers and importers worldwide have embraced the cultivar for its excellent productivity and disease resistance, shelf life, transportability, size, and appealing color.<ref name="star">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Although the Tommy Atkins cultivar is commercially successful, other cultivars may be preferred by consumers for eating pleasure, such as Alphonso.<ref name="NYTAllen" /><ref name="star" />
Generally, ripe mangoes have an orange-yellow or reddish peel and are juicy for eating, while exported fruit are often picked while underripe with green peels. Although producing ethylene while ripening, unripened exported mangoes do not have the same juiciness or flavor as fresh fruit.
Distribution and habitatEdit
From tropical Asia, mangoes were introduced to East Africa by Arab and Persian traders in the ninth to tenth centuries.Template:Sfn The 14th-century Moroccan traveler Ibn Battuta reported it at Mogadishu.<ref name="watson">Template:Cite book</ref> It was spread further into other areas around the world during the Colonial Era. The Portuguese Empire spread the mango from their colony in Goa to East and West Africa. From West Africa, they introduced it to Brazil from the 16th to the 17th centuries. From Brazil, it spread northwards to the Caribbean and eastern Mexico by the mid to late 18th century. The Spanish Empire also introduced mangoes directly from the Philippines to western Mexico via the Manila galleons from at least the 16th century. Mangoes were only introduced to Florida by 1833.<ref name="Warschefsky"/><ref name=pg>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
CultivationEdit
The mango is now cultivated in most frost-free tropical and warmer subtropical climates. It is cultivated extensively in South Asia, Southeast Asia, East and West Africa, the tropical and subtropical Americas, and the Caribbean.<ref name="Altendorf">Template:Cite book</ref> Mangoes are also grown in Andalusia, Spain (mainly in Málaga province), as its coastal subtropical climate is one of the few places in mainland Europe that permits the growth of tropical plants and fruit trees. The Canary Islands are another notable Spanish producer of the fruit. Other minor cultivators include North America (in South Florida and the California Coachella Valley), Hawai'i, and Australia.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
Many commercial cultivars grown in Europe are grafted onto the cold-hardy rootstock of the Gomera-1 mango cultivar, originally from Cuba. Its root system is well adapted to a coastal Mediterranean climate.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Many of the 1,000+ mango cultivars are easily cultivated using grafted saplings, ranging from the "turpentine mango" (named for its strong taste of turpentine<ref>According to the Oxford Companion to Food</ref>) to the Bullock's Heart. Dwarf or semidwarf varieties serve as ornamental plants and can be grown in containers. A wide variety of diseases can afflict mangoes.Template:Citation needed

A breakthrough in mango cultivation was the use of potassium nitrate and ethrel to induce flowering in mangoes. The discovery was made by Filipino horticulturist Ramon Barba in 1974 and was developed from the unique traditional method of inducing mango flowering using smoke in the Philippines. It allowed mango plantations to induce regular flowering and fruiting year-round. Previously, mangoes were seasonal because they only flowered every 16 to 18 months. The method is now used in most mango-producing countries.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="nagao">Template:Cite book</ref>
ProductionEdit
In 2023, world production of mangoes (report includes mangosteens and guavas) was 61 million tonnes, led by India with 43% of the total (table).

Mangoes are used in many cuisines. Sour, unripe mangoes are used in chutneys (i.e., mango chutney), pickles, daals and other side dishes in Indian cuisine. A summer drink called aam panna is made with mangoes. Mango pulp made into jelly or cooked with red gram dhal and green chilies may be served with cooked rice. Mango lassi is consumed throughout South Asia, prepared by mixing ripe mangoes or mango pulp with buttermilk and sugar. Ripe mangoes are also used to make curries. Aamras is a thick juice made of mangoes with sugar or milk and is consumed with chapatis or pooris. The pulp from ripe mangoes is also used to make jam called mangada. Andhra aavakaaya is a pickle made from raw, unripe, pulpy, and sour mango mixed with chili powder, fenugreek seeds, mustard powder, salt, and groundnut oil. Mango is also used to make dahl and chunda (a sweet and spicy, grated mango delicacy). In Indonesian cuisine, unripe mango is processed into asinan, rujak and sambal pencit/mangga muda,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> or eaten with edible salt.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Mangoes are used to make murabba (fruit preserves), muramba (a sweet, grated mango delicacy), amchur (dried and powdered unripe mango), and pickles, including a spicy mustard-oil pickle and alcohol. Ripe mangoes are cut into thin layers, desiccated, folded, and then cut. The fruit is also added to cereal products such as muesli and oat granola.
Mango is used to make juices, smoothies, ice cream, fruit bars, raspados, aguas frescas, pies, and sweet chili sauce, or mixed with chamoy, a sweet and spicy chili paste. In Central America, mango is either eaten green, mixed with salt, vinegar, black pepper, and hot sauce, or ripe in various forms.
Pieces of mango can be mashed and used as a topping on ice cream or blended with milk and ice as milkshakes. Sweet glutinous rice is flavored with coconut, then served with sliced mango as mango sticky rice. In other parts of Southeast Asia, mangoes are pickled with fish sauce and rice vinegar. Green mangoes can be used in mango salad with fish sauce and dried shrimp. Mango with condensed milk may be used as a topping for shaved ice.
Raw green mangoes can be sliced and eaten like a salad.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite book</ref> In most parts of Southeast Asia, they are commonly eaten with fish sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, or with a dash of salt (plain or spicy)Template:Snda combination usually known as "mango salad" in English.<ref name="Valente">Template:Cite news</ref>

PhytochemistryEdit
Numerous phytochemicals are present in mango peel and pulp, such as the triterpene lupeol.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> Mango peel pigments under study include carotenoids, such as the provitamin A compound, beta-carotene, lutein and alpha-carotene,<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref><ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> and polyphenols, such as quercetin, kaempferol, gallic acid, caffeic acid, catechins and tannins.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref><ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> Mango contains a unique xanthonoid called mangiferin.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
Phytochemical and nutrient content appears to vary across mango cultivars.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> Up to 25 different carotenoids have been isolated from mango pulp, the densest of which was beta-carotene, which accounts for the yellow-orange pigmentation of most mango cultivars.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> Mango leaves also have significant polyphenol content, including xanthonoids, mangiferin and gallic acid.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
FlavorEdit
The flavor of mango fruits is conferred by several volatile organic chemicals mainly belonging to terpene, furanone, lactone, and ester classes. Different varieties or cultivars of mangoes can have flavors made up of different volatile chemicals or the same volatile chemicals in different quantities.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> In general, New World mango cultivars are characterized by the dominance of δ-3-carene, a monoterpene flavorant; whereas, high concentration of other monoterpenes such as (Z)-ocimene and myrcene, as well as the presence of lactones and furanones, is the unique feature of Old World cultivars.<ref name="culti">Pandit SS, Chidley HG, Kulkarni RS, Pujari KH, Giri AP, Gupta VS, 2009, Cultivar relationships in mango based on fruit volatile profiles, Food Chemistry, 144, 363–372.</ref><ref>Narain N, Bora PS, Narain R and Shaw PE (1998).

When mango trees are flowering in spring, local people with allergies may experience breathing difficulty, itching of the eyes, or facial swelling, even before flower pollen becomes airborne.<ref name="Morton" /> In this case, the irritant is likely to be the vaporized essential oil from flowers.<ref name="Morton" /> During the primary ripening season of mangoes, contact with mango plant parts – primarily sap, leaves, and fruit skin<ref name="Morton" /> – is the most common cause of plant dermatitis in Hawaii.<ref name="autogenerated365">Template:Cite journal</ref>
NutritionEdit
A raw mango is 84% water, 15% carbohydrates, 1% protein, and has negligible fat (table). In a reference amount of Template:Cvt, raw mango supplies 60 calories and is a rich source of vitamin C (44% of the Daily Value, DV) with moderate amounts of folate (11% DV) and copper (12% DV), while other micronutrients are low in content (table).
CultureEdit
The mango is the national fruit of India.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> It is also the national tree of Bangladesh.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In India, harvest and sale of mangoes is during March–May and this is annually covered by news agencies.<ref name=NYTAllen>Template:Cite news</ref>
The mango has a traditional context in the culture of South Asia. In his edicts, the Mauryan emperor Ashoka references the planting of fruit- and shade-bearing trees along imperial roads:
"On the roads banyan-trees were caused to be planted by me, (in order that) they might afford shade to cattle and men, (and) mango-groves were caused to be planted."
In medieval India, the Indo-Persian poet Amir Khusrau termed the mango "Naghza Tarin Mewa Hindustan" – "the fairest fruit of Hindustan". Mangoes were enjoyed at the court of the Delhi Sultan Alauddin Khijli. The Mughal Empire was especially fond of the fruits: Babur praises the mango in his Babarnameh. At the same time, Sher Shah Suri inaugurated the creation of the Chaunsa variety after his victory over the Mughal emperor Humayun. Mughal patronage of horticulture led to the grafting of thousands of mangoes varieties, including the famous Totapuri, which was the first variety to be exported to Iran and Central Asia.Template:Citation needed Akbar (1556Template:Ndash1605) is said to have planted a mango orchard of 100,000 trees near Darbhanga, Bihar,<ref name="MJMorgan">Template:Cite news</ref> while Jahangir and Shah Jahan ordered the planting of mango orchards in Lahore and Delhi and the creation of mango-based desserts.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The Jain goddess Ambika is traditionally represented as sitting under a mango tree.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Mango blossoms are also used in the worship of the goddess Saraswati. Mango leaves decorate archways and doors in Indian houses during weddings and celebrations such as Ganesh Chaturthi. Mango motifs and paisleys are widely used in different Indian embroidery styles, and are found in Kashmiri shawls, Kanchipuram and silk sarees. In Tamil Nadu, the mango is referred to as one of the three royal fruits, along with banana and jackfruit, for their sweetness and flavor.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> This triad of fruits is referred to as ma-pala-vazhai. The classical Sanskrit poet Kalidasa sang the praises of mangoes.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
