It’s summer and mango season is here! Mango is the ‘national fruit of India’ and India produces more than a hundred varieties of mangoes. Some of the most famous varieties are Alphonso, Langra, Dasheri, Kesar and Chausa. Mangoes are sweet and delicious on their own but can also be used in desserts. Raw mangoes are popular too in pickles, curries etc. Mangoes are so loved that the mango design can be seen on clothes and paintings too! Other countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand and the Philippines also are very fond of the fruit. So go ahead and enjoy MANGOES till the party lasts.
But don’t forget that summer also brings an abundance of other fruits - like watermelons, musk melons, cherries, lychees, plums, peaches, jamuns (java plums). ENJOY THEM ALL.
