Mango is a versatile fruit, enjoyed in various forms in India and world wide. As summer arrives (between Mid-March and June), the markets are filled with the fresh, ripe and most aromatic mangoes. Ratnagiri, Raigad and Devgad mangoes are considered the finest and best alphonso mangoes.
History
Mangoes are believed to be cultivated over 5,000 years ago in India. According to ancient scriptures such as the Vedas and the Puranas depict mangoes as symbols of love, fertility, and prosperity. During the medieval period, mangoes were exported to regions like Persia, Arabia, and East Africa, the Portuguese played a pivotal role in introducing mangoes to places like Europe and the Americas.
Changing Words, Same Taste
In ancient times mangoes were referred to as “Rasala” or “Sahakara.” In Kerala, a state in India, mangoes are called "Maanga." But when the Portuguese arrived, the name changed a bit to "Maango." It shows how languages and cultures can mix and evolved over time.
