By the way, Mangoes, The King of Fruits, are now available in every season. However, eating fresh mangoes of trees is different thing.


 Mango season in India is started from March to end of July every year. And till now the month of May has started and fresh mangoes are not even visible because of  all world is fighting a dangerous disease like Coronavirus (COVID-19).

 More than 1,000 mango species are produced across the country, especially in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Odisha and West Bengal. Each village and region in India has its own diversity in the form of mango trees, but mango crops have suffered a lot due to COVID-19.



Mangoes grow in hot tropical countries like India, Philippines, Mexico etc. The flowers usually begin to bloom around the first spring. And the tree starts bearing fruit in early summer. By the rainy season, the fruits are ripe on the trees.

Mango tree production depends on the flowering. Flowering starts in December – January in the south and lasts till the beginning of March in the north and can be distorted by sudden rain or heat waves during this period. A mango tree can produce 20 kg to 200 kg per harvesting season. It is thus difficult to estimate mango yield.

 The English word "Mango" Plural "Mangoes" or "Mangos" originated from the Malayalam word māṅṅa (or mangga) via Dravidian-Tamil (mankay as man for mango tree and kay for fruit, or maangaay) during the spice trade period with South India in the 15th and 16th centuries.

 The earliest known reference to the cultivation of mangoes can be traced to India up to 2000BCE. Mango was brought to East Asia around 400–500 BCE, was available by the 14th century on the Swahili Coast (according to Ibn Battuta) and was brought in the 15th century to the Philippines and in the 16th century Brazil by Portuguese explorers.

 There have been several verified accounts and novels with references to the mango fruit in Indian Tamil literary works, the most prominent known reference to the mango fruit being to the 5th century saint Karaikkal Ammaiyar, where it is mentioned that she received a mango fruit as a boon from Lord Shiva, due to her devotion when her husband requested it, after providing alms one out of two mangoes given by her husband earlier to an Ascetic, disguised as Lord Shiva.
