😋 These mango fruits are unique and you can only eat them at MahaRaja 😉
🌈 There are over 500 mango fruit varieties in the world, with different colors such as red, orange, yellow and green.
🎨 The color of a mango fruit is not an indicator of being ripe. A green mango can be ripe, succulent, sweet and with flavor. We can vouch for that
🤗 We are blessed as we have wild mango trees on our island.They are evergeen, continuously produce fruits and can live up to 300 years.
🌳Mango trees can grow up to 35m. Ours are about 20m and are on top of the hills. We cannot access the fruits directly.
🍐 But they are generous with us. Every day, 5 to 10 ripe mangoes detach themselves from the trees, roll down the hill and come directly to us.
🥙 We eat the mango fruits as it, or use them to prepare:
Mango avocado salad, mango curry, mango ginger smoothie, mango sambal, mango spicy salsa, and much more...
🌍Mangoes are one of the most international fruit :
🇮🇳They originated in India over 4,000 years ago.
💁♀️ Due to a mango's large center seed, the fruit relied on humans to transport them across the world.
🇮🇷 Mangoes were first transported to Middle East and Africa, by the Persians, in 10th century.
🇵🇹 They were then spread by the Portugese to Europe, in 15th century and to South America, in 17th century.
🇺🇸 In US, mango first arrived in Florida, in 19th century.
🙏We have no clue how the mango seeds first arrived on our island, but we are forever grateful of mother nature and the humans who did this 😉
