Local name : Mango Scientific name : Mangifera indica
Mangos vary in shape (nearly round, oval, ovoid-oblong), size, and color depending upon the variety. Mangos may be greenish, greenish-yellow, yellow, red, orange, or purple . The skin is smooth and leathery, surrounding the fleshy, pale-yellow to deep-orange edible portion.
The fruits possess a single large, flattened, kidney-shaped seed that is enclosed in a woody husk. The fruit is a good source of vitamins A and C.
