Eating mangó is probably one of the most cherished memories of our childhood, whether under the shade of a tree or in the family backyard. The mangó, which comes from the West Indies, is a staple of Puerto Rican tradition.
On the Island, it is the emblematic fruit of Mayagüez, and more than thirty species of the Indian mangó exist, including the "Mayagüezano," the "Mangotino" and the "Largo."
The dry tropical climate is ideal for producing this fruit, though some varieties adapt to temperate and humid climates. During the months of June and July, the branches of these trees fill with abundant panicles, which bend toward the ground under the weight of the fruit.
There is no better way to get through the summer months than with a good dose of nostalgia, so we are sharing several recipes in which mangó is the main ingredient.
