Facts about mango
Fruity Category: Mangoes belong to the drupe family, which means they have a tasty outer layer, a yummy edible part, and a big stone in the middle – just like peaches, plums, and cherries.
Ancient Origin: The mango’s story began in India over 5,000 years ago. It’s been a fruit favorite for a long time.
Travel Buddies: Mango seeds went on a journey with humans, traveling from Asia to the Middle East, East Africa, and South America about 300-400 A.D. They were like little seed explorers.

Chillin’ with Buddha: Legend has it that even Buddha hung out under mango trees for a cool escape from the sun. That’s one wise choice of shade!
Nutty Relatives: Mangos are related to cashews and pistachios. They’re all part of the same nutty family.
Sweet Balance: A ripe mango knows how to balance flavors – it’s 14% sugar and 0.5% acid by weight, making a perfect 28-sugar-acid ratio.
Around the Globe: Thanks to Spanish explorers, mangos made their way to South America and Mexico in the 1600s. They even took a shot at the U.S. in Florida back in 1833.

Mango Mousse
Ingredients
800 g mango puree
200 ml whipped cream
1 tbsp gelatin powder
2 egg whites
2 tsp sugar
juice of one lime
Instructions
Begin by pouring the mango puree into a bowl, giving it a gentle whisk. If mango puree isn’t readily available, you can easily create your own by mashing canned mangoes into a smooth consistency.
In a separate bowl, whip the cream until it reaches a delightful fluffiness.
Dissolve the gelatin powder in a small amount of hot water, ensuring it’s fully mixed.
In another bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
Combine the dissolved gelatin and sugar with the whipped egg whites. Introduce the zesty lime juice to the mix.
With a gentle hand, fold the whipped cream and mango puree into the egg white mixture. The goal here is to blend the ingredients thoroughly while retaining the mousse’s airy texture.
Transfer the resulting mixture into a generously sized serving bowl or individual dessert cups, allowing it to set in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hour
