My favourite fruit is MANGO.I have two mangoe trees.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. No one knows the exact origins of the mango but most believe that it is native to the Southern and Southeast Asian continent including Eastern India, Burma, and Bangladesh after fossil records were found there dating back 25 to 30 million years.[citation needed] The mango exists in two races, one from India and the other from the Philippines and Southeast Asia. The Indian race does not tolerate humidity well, has flushes of bright red new growth that are subject to mildew, and bears monoembryonic fruit of high color and regular form. The southeast asian race tolerates excess moisture, has pale green or red new growth and resists mildew. Its polyembryonic fruit is pale green and elongated kidney-shaped.[1] Reference to mangos as the "food of the gods" can be found in the Hindu Vedas. The name of the fruit comes from the Tamil word mangaai[2], or the Malayalam word manga[3], and popularised by the Portuguese after their Indian exploration, hence the word 'manga' in Portuguese.
