Proof
When you hold a mango in your hand, you hold not only the world’s most popular fruit, but also 5,000 years of seemingly impossible history. Originating in India all those thousands of years ago, mangos (without the help of planes, trains and automobiles) gradually spread through Asia and the rest of the world. Even more intriguing, is the spread of mango across the globe. Mangos have a large center seed, which means they relied solely on ancient explorers and merchants to carry them to new lands, across oceans and continents alike: transporting mangos was an act of passion.
It wasn’t until the 1800s that mangos were first grown in the U.S, and today you can find thousands of varieties worldwide. Curious as to where your mango comes from? Check the sticker in your local grocer: most mangos found in U.S. grocery stores are grown in Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.
