Description
This beautifully illustrated book takes us on a tour through the rich world of mangoes, which inspire fervent devotion across the world. In South Asia, mangoes boast a history steeped in Hindu and Buddhist mythology, even earning a mention in the Kama Sutra.
Beyond myth, the authors show us that mangoes hold literary significance as a potent metaphor. While mango-flavoured smoothies grace Western grocery shelves, the true essence of sweet, juicy mangoes or tangy, unripe varieties is a rarity: supermarket offerings often prioritise shelf-life over taste.
Mango offers an accessible introduction to the world of true mango aficionados and the thousand varieties they cherish.
