Andhra Pradesh has the most land dedicated to mango cultivation in the country. The fruit is quite popular among the general public due to its flexibility, high nutritious content, diversity, exquisite taste, and superb flavor. The fruit is enjoyed in both raw and ripe forms. Every component of the mango is used in some capacity. The pulp is consumed either fresh or dried while the skin is often stripped off and used as a wrapper for sweets. India grows nearly 90 percent of the world's mangoes. The biggest producer is India, followed by Pakistan and then Indonesia. India accounts for more than half of the worldwide production of mangoes. Mangoes are available throughout the year in the Indian market but their peak season is between July and October. This is due to the maximum temperatures that can be tolerated by the fruit during this period. The best known variety is the Amrapali, which comes in red and yellow colors. It is grown exclusively for commercial purposes. Another popular variety is the Magadi, which comes in red and white colors. This variety is preferred by many for its superior quality. Other popular varieties include Kanika, Mogra, Malabar, and Mayura. Almost all parts of the mango are used by people. The pulp is eaten either fresh or frozen while the kernel is removed and used as fuel for cooking. Even the peel is used for making ropes and baskets.
