Nothing beats the summer heat than a fresh bowl of chilled mango slices. Yum! That's my fave summer fruit. I love that you can have it all year long but they're always the freshest and "cheapest" during the summer season. It can be used on a multi-variety of desserts but I prefer to have it on its own.
Here are some trivias on my favorite fruit:
- The mango tree belongs to the cashew family.
- The Indian Paisley design motif was inspired from a mango fruit.
- In some areas, the term "mango" refers to green peppers or even refer to a pickle.
- Mango leaves are considered toxic and can kill cattle or other grazing livestock.
- The fruit of the mango is called a Drupe - consisting of the mesocarp
(edible fleshy part) and endocarp (large woody, flattened pit).
