This article is about the fruit. For other meanings of the word, please see Mango (disambiguation).

The mango (Mangifera spp.; plural mangos or mangoes) is a genus of about 35 species of tropical fruiting trees in the flowering plant family Anacardiaceae, native to India, and Southeast Asia, of which the Indian Mango M. indica is by far the most important commercially. Reference to mangos as the "food of the gods" can be found in the Hindu Vedas. The name of the fruit comes from the Tamil word mangaaior the Malayalam word manga[http://www.plantcultures.org.uk/plants/mango_landing.html, and popularised by the Portuguese after their Indian exploration, hence the word 'manga' in Portuguese.
