Mango (Anbu)
Mango or mangifera indica, comes from anacardiaceae cashew
family. Though there are
several types of mangoes in maldives, each one is
sweet, juicy, and refreshing. The leaves are simple, narrow and glossy.
Mangoes are oval, often lop-sided and hanging green and then ripen to red,
orange, purple-brown or yellowish, depending on variety. Individual trees
may flower one part of the tree at a time. The ripe fruit is thin-skinned
and contains one large seed. The flesh is orange and sweet. It can be eaten
raw or used for stewed fruits,juices,jam, jellies, preserves, chutney, it
makes a great sorbet, too. Even the fruit while green yields an edible pulp.
Plants usually bear 3 to 5 years after planting. Mangoes are of great
importance as a fruit in the tropics.Mango is one of the most popular fruits
in Sun Island, also you may enjoy eating fresh, ripe mangos from our
