Did you know?
Mango is the most widely consumed fresh fruit in the world — more mangoes are eaten globally than apples bananas and oranges combined. India produces approximately 40% of the world's mango supply growing over 1000 varieties. The name mango comes from the Malayalam word manga through Portuguese. Mango trees can live for over 300 years and still produce fruit. The pit that makes mangoes dangerous for dogs is also the source of mango butter — a cosmetic ingredient extracted from the kernel inside the pit.
