OVERVIEW
Mango is undoubtedly one of the most consumed fruits in the
world. Native to southeastern Asia, mango has been cultivated
for over 4,000 years. Nowadays, different varieties of mangoes
are mainly grown in tropical climates near the equator, such as
the Malay Peninsula, Indonesia archipelago, Thailand and India.
Given the time mango has existed adds with the emergence of
new breeding methods, it is fairly difficult to say in exact number
how many varieties of mangoes in existence. In countries with
living standard adn serious nutrition deficiencies, mango has become an essential food staple. In the western world, mango is an
exotic commodity.

ETYMOLOGY
The word mango derives from over 3,000 years of evolution. Originally, mango was called aamra-phalam in Sanskit; with the word aamra
meaning mango and phalam meaning fruit. In Hindi, the most common language spoken in India, the word for mango is aam-phal or
Ama for short. Once the tree migrated to Tamil speaking areas such as
Sri Lanka, aam-phal become aam-kaay, which then evolve to maamkaay and maangai. In the Malayalam language, which developed from
the Tamil language, maangai became maanga. Adopted by the Portuguese during the spice trade, maanga shortened to become manga,
which then turned into mango once English adopted it. The origin of
the o however is still unclear. It is thought that the letter "o" was
added to show commodities found in the new world, such as tomato,
avocado, potato, etc.
THE TREE
The mango tree is believed to have evolved from a canopy species
type of tree in the tropical rainforest of South and South-East Asia. In
todays age, mango is widely domesticated using open seedling populations. This cross-breed technique resulted in the generally arborescent with broad and round canopy architecture, with the exception
of those with more upright with a rather slender crown. Furthermore,
mature mango tree can attain a height of 30 to 70 ft (1040 m) or
more, and able to survive for several hundred years. Once a mango
tree reaches maturity, in 10 to 20 years, they lose their fruit bearing
efficiency, which then are designated for cut down. Although as far
as hardwood go, mango wood can be considered a soft wood, this
densely grained wood is still a perfect material for chairs and other
framed items.

THE FRUIT
THE SEED
The mango fruit is a stone fruit, meaning the stone, or the seed, is
surrounded by resinous mesocarp, the flesh, of varying thickness
and covered in exocarp, or the skin. Due to mass domestication of
mango, the edible mesocarps thickness, shape, color, size, and
the taste are highly variable depending on the cultivar. In general,
mango is commonly characterized by its beak at the proximal end
of the fruit; and the color, which generally a mixture of green, yellow and red pigments.
Mango has only one seed, which in most cases are large and flat.
At maturity, this seed is usually ovoid oblong and covered in fibrous endocarp. The seed coat forms from 2 outer layers of cells
protecting the ovule; the outermost thick covering is called testa,
while the inner thin and papery is called tegmen. Similar to bean,
mangos embryos are dicotyledonous, meaning it typically has
two or more embryonic leaves. These amount are varies between
mango cultivars. Mango seeds however, cannot survive for more
than few days in ambient temperature.

VARIETIES
With a better understanding of the mangos life cycle and new breeding and grafting methods, it is thought that there are over 2,000 different varieties of mangoes ranging in size, color, shape and taste.
Despite their vast variations, fresh, ripe mango is generally very juicy
and delicious, with sweet pleasant odor if touched and pressed. Some
mangoes would have soft and pulpy texture similar to an over-ripe
plum, and some have a firmer flesh similar to that of a cantaloupe.

CULTIVATION
HISTORY
Mango was grown and consumed extensively starting 4,000 years ago in and around the
Indian peninsula. It is thought that the Indian
monks, who went on religious missions, during
the Buddhist period in 4th5th BC were responsible for introducing mango into the Malaysian peninsula and other East Asian countries. With the growth of commerce, mango
became one of the many commodities being
sold and traded in and around East Asia. In the
10th century AD, Persian traders were thought
to have taken it into Middle East and East Africa. With the arrival of Portuguese traders in
India by the 15th century, mango was then
spread from Goa to East Africa ultimately
reaching West Africa and adjacent island possessions and subsequently Brazil. There were
also other major traders engaged in spreading this juicy fruit all over the world, such as
the Spaniards who brought mango into Mexico from the Philippines, and the Dutch East
India Company, which unveiled this fruit onto
the European continent (Mukherjee, 1972).

RELEVANCE
UNITED STATES
Mango, long considered an exotic fruit in the US, is now
mainstream. It was first introduced in the US as an import commodity from the Caribbean. With the rise on
demand for this fruit, the type of mango known as "No.
11" which originated in Cuba, was first planted in the Miami area in 1861, making it the first time that mango tree
was planted on US soil. By 1887 1000 trees of the "No
11" type had been planted at Port Pinellas, Florida, with
about the same number of trees planted in two nearby
plantations. With time, different types of mango trees
started to sprout all over Florida such as the Turpentine,
believed to proceed from East Africa, and the Mugoba
from India. In 1910 a new type of mango cultivar made its
appearance. This new tree was a hybrid named "Haden"
, so labeled in honor of retired US Army Captain John
Haden of Miami who grew Mulgoba trees in the Coconut
Grove area in Florida. Because of the accidental cross
pollination between Mulgoba and Turpentine trees, the
new mango tree, the Haden became the first commercially successful cultivar from the US. Later on the Haden became the seed parent of other cultivars such as
Tommy Atkins,Zill, Smith, Irwin, Eldon and Glenn just to
name a few (Knight, 1994).

MANGO IN DESIGN
Paisley is an English term used to describe the use of a twisted
teardrop, mango, or the kidney-shaped vegetable of Persian origin. The word paisley is derived from the town of Paisley, in West
Scotland, a center for textiles where the pattern was first modernly mass-produced. The originality of the design However, can be
traced back to around 221 AD, an era of Sassanid Dynasty. In Tamil
culture, the paisley design is known as Mankolam as it resembles
a mango. Within this culture, mango is considered to be of a high
price, being a symbol of health, peace and prosperity. In Indian culture, this mango or paisley motifs are widely used in different embroidery styles and are commonly found in Kashmiri shawls and
Kanchipuram silk sarees ("The Brief", 2011).

MAOS MANGO
In August 1968, Chairman Mao Zedong hosted delegations from
Pakistan, led by the foreign minister at the time. On that occasion,
Chairman Mao was presented with a basket of mangoes. Instead
of eating them, Mao distributed all seven mangoes to his Thought
Propaganda Teams in the capital. These teams had been ordered to
restore peace, security and bring an end to the intense and bloody
factional struggles between various groups of Red Guards. Mao's
gesture of distributing mangoes to his Teams was perceived as an
indication that Mao had become dissatisfied with the Red Guards,
and supported the Teams instead. The universities and factories
that received the mangoes were overfilled with joy and happiness.
Mango then became an importand and symbolic role in the complex political situation of the Cultural Revolution.
The inscription reads: "Respect and Wishes to Chairman Mao for a Long

BUDDHISM
Similarly, mango is also sacred in Buddhism. It is believed that Buddha performed a mango miracle in
Svatthi, known as the Yamaka-patihariya. According
to the story, Buddha gave Ganda, the king's gardener, a mango seed of the fruit that he ate, and requested for the seed to be planted at the city gate. Once
planted by Ganda, a tree of one hundred cubits tall
covered with flowers and fruits emerged immediately. Nowadays, the tree is known as the Gandamba
Tree. It is also widely believed that Buddha regularly
meditated under the shade of a mango tree. Furthermore, according to the Mahavamsa: Great Chronicle
of Ceylon, or also known as the Great Dynasty, Sri
Lanka converted to Buddhism after an intense discussion and argument between the island's king,
King Tissa, and Prince Mahinda over mango trees.

HINDUISM
Mango tree is considered to be one of the sacred tree symbols in
Hinduism. Ever since the day of the Puranas or the deities, mango
has been associated with various Gods, Goddesses and spirits. According to some scholars, mango tree is where Vriksha, Lakshmi,
Govardhan and Gandharravam reside. Ganesha who is revered as
the god of beginnings and the obstacle remover, is often portrayed
holding a perfectly ripe mango as a symbol of attainment. Furthermore, Lakshmi (illustrated), the Hindu goddess of fertility, wealth
and love is commonly portrayed with Laksmi Ghata or the golden
pot filled with mango leaves. This pot, Lakshmi Ghata, contains five
sindoor or vermillion besmeared mango leaves, which then filled
with water and decorated at the brim with mango leaves topped
with a coconut. This tradition is known as Purnakumbha, a common sight in Hindu religious ceremony. It is believed that the mango leaves symbolizes life while the pot, Laksmi Ghata, personifies
Lakshmi herself, hence the name. Moreover, mango leaves are also
used in marriage ceremonies for these leaves are termed as Kama
or God of fertility. Furthermore, mangoes are also widely mentioned
in other famous and epic works of literature, such as in the Vedas
(Hinduism's sacred scripture), and in the Ramayana, one of the most
famous Sanksrit poem, which refers to mango as the kalpavriksha
or the wish-granting trees.
