The mango is widely known and referred to as the "king of fruits."
The title "king of fruits" is bestowed upon the mango due to its exceptional taste, rich aroma, and nutritional value. Mangoes are enjoyed globally and come in a wide variety of cultivars, each offering a unique flavor profile. The popularity and cultural significance of mangoes contribute to their regal designation. The name "mango" itself has interesting origins, derived from the Tamil word "mangkay" or "man-gay," which was then adopted by Portuguese traders as "manga" when they arrived in Western India.
