Do mangoes turn brown when cut?
Mangoes tend to stay the same color when cut. If you cut them and do not eat them immediately or store them properly they may discolor slightly, but not on the same level as an apple.
Which is the best mango in the world?
The 1995 World Guinness Book of Record lists Zambales, Philippines as producer of the sweetest mango in the world. The province's export quality carabao mango varieties and strains have made a significant contribution to the country's mango industry.
Among them is the Sweet Elena (Mangifera indica) descended from an 108-year-old mother tree in a five-hectare mango orchard in Sabang, Sta. Cruz, Zambales (Sweet Elena nursery) owned by Penida Moselina Malabed. This mother tree produces 2.4 metric tons of fruit per fruiting season.
The seedlings were evaluated by Ma. Esther Marinas of the Ramon Magsaysay Technological University in San Marcelino, Zambales. The study was conducted in three years in coordination with the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI).
The National Seed Industry Council (NSIC) of the Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Plant Industry released the new carabao mango strain of Sweet Elena in October 2002.
Dr. Roberto Coronel, fruit expert from the Institute of Plant Bleeding of the University of the Philippines at Los Banos (IBP-UPLB) and a member of NSIC, considers and recommends Sweet Elena as the best carabao mango strain for commercialization. It has an average fruit weight of 365-700 grams and sugar content of almost 19 percent Brix.
Aside from its size and juicy sweetness it has other superior commercial characteristics. Among them are the absence of fibrous materials in its flesh and thickness of its pulp.
Sweet Elena was adjudged the sweetest and the biggest mango in the Philippines for three consecutive years by the Bureau of Plant Industry.
The nursery in Barangay Bayto, Sta. Cruz Zambales is three kilometers from the national highway.
At the DENR-PAWB-Dizon Botanic Fruit Garden, Ninoy Wildlife Parks, Diliman, Quezon City, Bernie Dizon is topworking some 1,000 Sweet Elena seedlings with other superior strains for pest- and disease-resistant seedlings with superior fruiting quality.
In what kingdom do mango belong?
Anacardiaceae.
"Anacardiaceae (the cashew family or the sumac family) is a family of flowering plants bearing fruits that are drupes and in some cases producing urushiol, an irritant. Its numerous genera include several of economic importance. Notable plants in this family include cashew (in the type genus Anacardium), mango, poison ivy, sumac, smoke tree, marula and pistachio."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anacardiaceae
Citric and malic acids are the major organic acids present in mangoes. Other acids include α-ketoglutaric, ascorbic, oxalic, and tartaric acids. Anacardic acids, whose effects can be almost as irritating as poison ivy's urushiol oils in terms of susceptible people, will be found since mangoes are members of the Anacardiaceae family.

Is a mango tree's sap poisonous?
The mango tree's sap is extremely abrasive. If you get it on your skin (or the skin of the mango during processing) it does burn. Soap is the antidote, and if you wash well with soap and cold water within a minute of contact it leaves no mark. I grew up on a mango farm and I got liberally covered in sapburns every year. They don't scar. Some people have a severe allergic reaction to the sap and come out in hives. This often means they cannot eat mangoes, but for the vast majority of people this is not an issue. No part of the plant is truly toxic. If you eat the leaves - even if you drink the sap - you'll probably just get a burn inside your mouth.

What force is exerted on a fallen mango?
Gravitational Force
You must know the mass of the mango and the height from which it has fallen. Objects with mass fall at a constant speed of 9.8 meters/second squared, so you must multiply this by the distance the mango falls to get the acceleration of the mango. Then, F=MA. The force will be equal to the mass of the mango x its acceleration.
