Mangoes, locally known as ?aam? in Bangladesh, are widely known as the ?King of fruit? throughout the world - and why not! Mangoes are among the most delicious fruits in the world, with their rich taste and exotic varieties! And in Bangladesh, summer season may bring many woes for us Bangladeshis (such as high temperatures, suffocating humidity and intermittent load shedding) but one of the greatest pleasures that it brings is the season of mangoes! The mango season usually begins around the Month of June and lasts till early August. During this mango season, all Bangladeshis enjoy the different varieties of delicious mangoes.

The name mango came to be derived from the Tamil name of man-key or man-gay, which was adopted by the Portuguese as manga when they settled in western India. It was not until about 1700 when the mango tree was introduced to the Western Hemisphere, when it was planted in Brazil.
