  • Mango is the national fruit of India and is also referred to as the "king of fruits" in India. It's an understatement to say Indians love mangoes. A variety of different mangoes are sold in the summer. Each having a different size, color, texture, juicyness, taste and fragrance. The world does not know what they're missing on!

    Great video! As a sidenote, the name 'kiwi' comes from the curious little flightless bird that is unique to New Zealand, not from the fruit
