Hi Everyone -- I trust you and family are doing well. Things are getting better and better with covid situations. Take care of yourself and family. In this blog, I am going to share little about summer KING fruit   " Mango ".  :) In India, Mango is the king of fruits , so you can get it as soon as the spring season ends and the summer season begins, usually in the first few weeks of April.  Mango season starts in summer and continues till the middle of the monsoon. Mango is one of a great summer fruits in India, as it helps the body fight the heat and prevents heat strokes in summer. During summer in south India, we get many fruits. i.e. Cashew Apples, Palm Fruits (Ice Apple), Jack Fruits. Jamuns, Tamarind, Manila Tamarind etc.   Indian summers are incomplete without mango. It is undoubtedly the king of fruits in the Indian subcontinent. Types of Mangoes:  There are around 20+ varieties of Mangoes. What I am aware of are: Alphonsa,  Neelum, Banganapalli, Himsagar etc. Mango

Have you seen Kodukkapuli? (Other names: Manila Tamarind, Jungle Jalebi, Madras Thorn, Monkey Pod etc)
