The mango (plural mangos or mangoes) is a tropical fruit of the Mango tree. Mangoes fit in to the genus Mangifera which consists of about 35 species of tropical fruiting trees in the flowering plant family Anacardiaceae. No one knows the accurate origins of the mango but most believe that it is native to the Southern and Southeast Asian continent including India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh after fossil records were found there dating back 25 to 30 million years. Suggestion to mangos as the "food of the gods" can be found in the Hindu Vedas.
