Mangos Around the World

Meet the King of Fruits – mango. You can find the tropical fruit in the markets of India, the streets of Mexico City, or in Australian festivals. But don’t worry, these aren’t of course the only places to find this juicy fruit.

Though mangos come to the U.S. primarily from South American countries and the Caribbean such as Mexico, Haiti, Ecuador, Peru, Guatemala, and Brazil, they are known as the “King of Fruits” because of their extensive popularity among the world’s tropics. This fruit, originally from India, can be found throughout the East Asia and the Pacific, along with South Asia and Australia.

As a nod to this fruit’s worldwide popularity, Mangos Around the World was born. This weekly campaign seeks to weave the vibrant threads of mango culture into the American blanket. Mangos Around the World reminds Americans of their adventures and travels, their heritage or ancestry, and hopefully their taste bud’s memories. Mangos Around the World is a melting pot of culture and history – embodying America itself.
