The mango is a juicy stone fruit from numerous species of tropical trees belonging to the flowering plant genus Mangifera, cultivated mostly for their edible fruit. The majority of these species are found in nature as wild mangoes and they are truly delicious.
There are thousands of varieties. A very nice tropical treat is the fresh mango. Every time I visit Miami I go directly to El Palacio De Los Jugos to puy gallons of the liquid delight. I am truly a mango maniac.
However, when I lived in Indiana, I quickly learned to call the mango a pepper or is it the other way around?
