In search of your favorite Mango?

Summers are here and so are the infinite perks of this season! Summers not only bring in much more liveliness and zest into our lives but also open up a wide variety of opportunities for us. For some it gives them the freedom to wear their favorite clothes, while for others it’s that time of the year when they can cheerfully enjoy their pool parties. But for me it defines the time when I can welcome the king of fruits - mango! Words fall short when I try to describe my ineffable love for this fruit. Mango is probably the most variegated fruit of India. There are almost 500-1000 cultivars of different mangoes in the country. This huge variety not only differs in its shape, size and colour but also in its scrumptious taste. Though it is not possible to describe all the varieties, today I will talk about the most famous types of Mangoes in India.
