Many think the mango is among the most delicious of all the tropical fruits; but, when unripened, this "fruit" is used as a vegetable. The skin of the fruit contains urushiol, the same chemical found in the other related poisonous plants.

Mangoes are grown throughout the tropics, from the Caribbean to Africa, South-East Asia, Australia, as well as India, where the history of the fruit goes back over 6,000 years and closely connected to the Hindu religion. The mango was, for a long time, a status symbol in India. One example is when the Moghul Emperor Akbar planted a vast orchard of 100,000 mango trees in the late 16th century. Such cultivation was often left to the perogative of rajas and nawabs. The Indian mango (Mangifera indica) is the descendant of a wild tree still found in northeastern part of the country. The tree grows to about eighty feet, becoming woody and untidy with age. It is but one of almost sixty of the species growing in the region from India east to the Philippines and Papua New Guinea. Nearly half have edible fruits, but the Mangifera indica is considered supreme and survives only in regions where there are clearly defined seasons. They are most often found in the northern part of southeast Asia rather than in Malaysia and Indonesia, where other species have adapted to that climate. It wasn not until the 19th century that traders introduced the fruit to the West Indies, Africa, South America, Mexico, Florida, and Hawaii. Even though a large portion of mangoes are grown in these areas, India remains the largest producer, meeting not only her demands, but also exporting a large number.
