Mango is a tropical stone fruit with smooth skin, golden-orange flesh, and a flat central pit. Ripe mango tastes lush and floral with a hint of pine, and its juicy flesh ranges from silky to slightly fibrous depending on variety. It shines in smoothies, salsas, chutneys, desserts, and salads, and is sold whole, pre-cut, frozen, pureed, or dried.

Domesticated in South Asia, mango spread across Southeast Asia, East Africa, and the Americas through trade and cultivation. It anchors cuisines from India and Thailand to Mexico and the Caribbean, thriving in tropical and subtropical orchards.
