King of The Fruits – The mango takes the title, and rightly so.Its sweet taste is universally appreciated. Originally, the mango tree comes from India and Burma, but already in the sixteenth century had been spread across most of tropical Asia; some had already been brought to Southeast Asia by Buddhist monks in the fourth and fifth centuries, and is now present in all tropical countries including Australia.

The mango is a magnificent tropical fruit and is unrelated to either type of pepper. Peppers grown in various parts of the world are used for making such products as paprika, hot sauces, pickles, and stuffed olives. The mango is indigenous to India and is still grown there. Mango is considered sacred in India. This is not the case in other countries.

Generally the mango is oval in shape with a slight beak. The skin is smooth and waxy and the flesh encloses a large rather flat stone containing a single seed. The mango is a rich source of various polyphenolic compounds and nutrients.

The main polyphenols in the mango in terms of antioxidative capacity and/or quantity are: mangiferin, catechins, quercetin, kaempferol, rhamnetin, anthocyanins, gallic and ellagic acids, propyl and methyl gallate, benzoic acid, and protocatechuic acid.
