Come summers and we can’t help but think about mangoes all day. It is one of the things that keep our mind away from the scorching heat. Also called the ‘King of Fruits’, mango has been quite an object of fancy among the royals. According to popular legends, Mughal emperor Jehangir loved the fruit so much that he once said that none of the fruits in Kabul even came close. The famous Persian poet Amir Khusrau from 13th century A.D., dubbed mango as the Naghza Tarin Mewa Hindustan, the fairest fruit of Hindustan. Mango is also the national fruit of India, and almost all of us are aware of the popular variants of mangoes that are available throughout the year.
