What does MANGO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A sweet, juicy tropical fruit with smooth orange or yellow flesh, a large flat stone, and a thick skin that ripens from green to yellow, red, or orange.
Mango trees originated in South Asia thousands of years ago and are now cultivated throughout the tropics and subtropics, producing one of the most widely eaten fruits in the world. The fruit's flesh ranges from firm and tart when unripe to soft, fragrant and intensely sweet once fully ripe, and cooks use both stages, green mango in savoury salads and pickles, ripe mango in desserts, smoothies and juices. A single large, flattened stone sits at the centre of the fruit, making mangoes trickier to slice cleanly than many other fruits, and the skin is generally not eaten. Beyond the fruit itself, mango wood, leaves and blossom hold cultural and culinary significance across South and Southeast Asia, where the tree is sometimes considered sacred.
