At that time, Gaganwalo lived in the cold state of New Jersey in America and went to Panama, a country in Central America, and if you raise your hand while walking on the road, you will hit a green mango, and while you are walking, you will find a ripe brown mango! Let me take the weed if you wish. You make a temporary bag of handkerchiefs and weave it repeatedly, one, two, three… five six… and the bag bursts like a youth immediately and you make a palanquin of clothes and fill it with seven, eight, nine… see one mistake and another, Free ki mooli ki kali jaisi fun! And this is free and fun like mangoes! How fun would it be if all these wonderful Amaranth fruits were sent to India by Arunbhai! Or Dr. America. If Dabawala goes, what kind of jalsa will happen! And mind you, maybe not as abundantly as Panama, but mangoes are also available in America, in the state of Florida. The fact is that in the year 1833, this Amalia branch came to America from Asia to Florida because the climate there is suitable for growing mangoes. From there, mangoes are now cultivated on the Hawaiian Islands as well as in California, although most mangoes in the United States are imported from Mexico. But the carnivorous American chipmunks do not appreciate the royal taste of mangoes. The 'King of Fruits' mango fruit ie mango, besides being divinely delicious, is full of rich history and interesting facts. It is believed that mangoes were first cultivated in India 5,000 years ago, before the lifetimes of Rama, Ravana, Arjuna, Duryodhana etc. From there, the harti-farti kerini gotli E. Around 400 AD, it entered the Middle East, East Africa and South America from Asia. In India, its leaf garlands are used to decorate doors in Indian homes on weddings and auspicious occasions. Fajjeto of its gotli is cooked and the embryo is removed from the gotli and preserved with pleasure. Mango is the national fruit of India, Pakistan, Indonesia and the Philippines. In Bangladesh, the mango tree is the national tree. Mango trees live for more than 300 years and are constantly fertile. Mangoes start bearing fruit after four years. Mango production in India alone is 247 lakh tonnes annually, which is half of the world's mango production. India is the largest producer of mangoes, but most of it is consumed by India itself. The rich pickles of raw mangoes are India's treasured gift to the world of taste. Mangoes are also rich in vitamin A, vitamin B and other antioxidants, which help fight cancerous cells, control cholesterol and improve eyesight. Mughal emperor Akbar is said to have planted an orchard of 1,00,000 mango trees at Darbhanga in eastern India. Legend has it that Lord Buddha meditated in the shade of a mango tree. Once Gandhiji gave Manubeh a glass of mango juice. Gandhi put it back and said 'I have heard that a mango costs ten annas. This will work if I don't drink it. Such expensive fruits do not raise my blood. It lowers my blood. In such a time of crisis, you gave me a glass full of four mango juices. How can I take that?' And today Gaganwala has come from the bone-chilling cold of New Jersey to the same evergreen Florida; The season of October-November is on! In October-November, the mango blossoms, and from April to July, 1500 varieties of mangoes are available in India, on the branches of Ambalia, from fairs, in greengrocers, and in America, in Nigoda bins. Suddenly an e-mail arrives in the postman's e-box, quoting some facts about unexplained mangoes, and gagaganwalas immediately think of the days of Panama, where the sexy imagination of mango trees with rows of banana clusters hanging from the road tickles you. Oranges, oranges, mangoes, apples, etc. are more popular fruits in America, many varieties of which are seen in supermarkets, while only a few varieties of mangoes are seen, perhaps in Indian or Chinese stores. Of course, in India there are hafus, or saffron, or gulabkhas, or langda, or totapuri, and thousands of other varieties, a different variety called Tommy Atkins, which grows in Mexico. The Tom Atkins variety of mango is widely grown in Mexico, and is edible for a very long time but will not taste like India! A gift of a basket of mangoes symbolizes love and friendship. The design pictured above is based on the shape of a mango, called 'Paisley Pattern', which is splashed on clothes etc. Jai Akbar Jallaluddin!
