Mangoes were cultivated in India over 4,000 years ago. Known as the “fruit of gods” or the “queen of fruits”, mangoes were widely consumed throughout South Asia. Mangoes eventually made their way via trade to Africa, Asia, Europe and finally to the Americas.

While the exact number of mango varieties is uncertain, there are at least 500 and perhaps as many as 1,000 with 350 grown commercially worldwide. Each mango variety has its own slightly unique flavor and color with some varieties better for juice and other for fresh consumption.
