Mango - The Exotic Taste of Summer

Summer, holiday time. The season suggests romantic runaways to distant destinations. Close your eyes and you can smell the perfume of exotic scent and the taste of exotic fruits.
Known as the queen of tropical fruits, Mango is one of the most loved ones and is very rich in Vitamin A, containing 20 times more of it than an orange.
They're also rich in vitamins C and E.
One of the earliest cultivated fruits, has been grownin India for about 5,000 years; the mango is native to southern Asia, especially Burma and eastern India.
It spread early on to Malaya, eastern Asia and eastern Africa and finally was introduced to California (Santa Barbara) in 1880.

Mango exist in 500 different varieties: it can be round, oval, or oblong and the fruit color canvary from green to yellow-orange. When buying mangos, select unblemished,firm fruit. It will ripen in three to five days at room temperature.If refrigerated, mango keeps well for about a week.

The flesh is a wonderful kind of messy-juicy that makes it ideal for desserts, custards, flanes, gelatins, and nectars, the best choices are those varieties that have less fibrous content. Fortunately, these are usually the ones that are found in the supermarket. You can ripen it at home, uncovered for a couple of days at room (not warm) temperature, turning it occasionally to ensure all sides get an even chance. The mangó is fully ripe when it yields a little to slight pressure from your hands. You'll want to put it at the bottom part of the refrigerator at that time. The riper it gets, the more fragrant and softer it becomes.
