Mango, the king of fruits, drives everyone crazy each season, especially Indians.
Come summer and they chew up the brains of their local fruitwaala to get them every possible variety under the sun. Besides its sinful calories, mangoes are also a very versatile fruit and can be consumed in many interesting ways.
Khurki learns that mango has been known in India since very early times. It is referred to in Sanskrit literature as Amra and has been under cultivation by man for over 4000 years.
It appears, however, that Hsiian-tsang, one of the early travelers to India (632-645), was the first person to bring mango to the notice of people outside India.
This fruit occupied an important place in horticulture during the rule of the Mughal emperors in India, and Akbar the Great (1556-1605) planted an orchard of 100,000 mango trees.
So, if you like the king of fruits, congratulations, you share the taste with Akbar The Great!
