   According to Fredrick Noronha, “No tree in history [of India] has been given as many names as the mango tree — it has been called Vasantaduta (messenger of Spring), Madhuduta (messenger of fragrance), Kamang (embodiment of Cupid), Kokilavasa (abode of cuckoos), and Kamavallabha (the amorous).”

    The mango tree is related to the cashew and pistachio nut.

   In addition to the mango fruit, a spice called amchur can be made by powdering the dried unripe fruit of the tree.

selection:

    Mago has the number five (5) lowest pesticide load of 45 common fruits and vegetables studied in 2006 by the Environmental Working Group and is therefore a food that can be purchased conventionally-grown when organic isn“t available. The EWA explains, “While washing and rinsing fresh produce may reduce levels of some pesticides, it does not eliminate them. Peeling also reduces exposures, but valuable nutrients often go down the drain with the peel. The best option is to eat a varied diet, wash all produce, and choose organic when possible to reduce exposure to potentially harmful chemicals.”
    According to USDA and FDA tests on commercially grown foods collected between 2000 and 2005, mango has a 7.1% (percentage) of samples tested with detectable pesticides, a 0.5% (percentage) of samples with two or more pesticides, an 0.1 average number of pesticides found in a sample, an average of 0.057 parts per million of all pesticides found, and 13 different pesticides found in use growing mango. These toxic pesticides don’t apply to organic foods.
