Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The scientific name for mango. Mangifera ______? It ends with the name of the country where it originated. What?

Answer: Indica

Mangos originated in East India, Burma and the Andaman Islands bordering the Bay of Bengal. Around the 5th century B.C., Buddhist monks are believed to have introduced the mango to Malaysia and eastern Asia - legend has it that Buddha found tranquility and repose in a mango grove. Persian traders took the mango into the middle east and Africa, from there the Portuguese brought it to Brazil and the West Indies. Mango cultivars arrived in Florida in the 1830's and in California in the 1880's.

There are more than 200 varieties grown here.

India produced almost all the 1000 varieties. It yielded about 8,000,000 tonnes of mangoes in 2000-01. Now you know how could I eat so many fruits.

2. Mango is abundant in which of these vitamins?

Answer: A & C

Mangoes are an excellent source of Vitamins A and C, as well as a good source of Potassium and contain beta carotene. Mangos are high in fiber, but low in calories (approx. 110 per average sized mango), fat (only 1 gram) and sodium.

3. Mangoes cannot be mascerated. True or false?

Answer: False

Beyond being delicious and rich in vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants, mangoes contain an enzyme with stomach soothing properties similar to papain found in papayas.Mango, both in its green and ripe form is a very good tenderizing agent due to these same enzymes, therefore ideal to include in any marinade. Ask any Indian.

They would tell you that there are more ways of pickling mangoes than the number of varieties available!

4. The hotter it is, the sweeter it is. Do they say so about mangoes? Is it true?

Answer: True

It's tree is green at all times of the year. But it bears fruit in the height of summer. The hotter it is, the sweeter it becomes. No wonder Thailand, Mexico, Brazil, Nigeria, Haiti and India are all abundant in mangoes.

5. Which of these is not a distant relative of the mango?

Answer: Kiwi

The mango is a member of the Anachardiaceae family. Other distant relatives include the cashew, pistachio, Jamaica plum, poison ivy and poison oak.

6. The largest exporter of mango is_____________?

Answer: Mexico

That was a twister! The leading mango producer is India, but very little is exported out of the country as most are consumed within the country! How many mangoes can a billion people eat?

7. What is the sweet sour pungent relish made of mangoes and spices called?

Answer: Chutney

[Hindi, "Chut-Knee" to taste.]
Avakai is a marinated pickle. Putney is the starting point of the annual Oxford Vs. Cambridge Boat Race (Mortlake being the other end), Britney is one hot sweet dish!!!

8. Which part of the mango tree is toxic to animals?

Answer: Leaves

Mango leaves are considered toxic and can kill cattle or other grazing livestock. But Hindus have great faith on the leaves. They adorn their doorways with mango leaves durng festivities as it is considered healthy and auspicious.

9. The fruit of the mango is called___________? (Of course, mango trees produce mangoes! But there IS a term for the fruit.)

Answer: Drupe

The fruit of the mango is called a Drupe - consisting of the mesocarp (edible fleshy part) and endocarp (large woody, flattened pit). Mangoes are not Stones but are often called 'Stonefruits' due to the large seed/flattened pit inside. Carp is a fish. Crope? Try me.

10. This might be far-fetching..or quite easy. Which one of the below is a mango-flavoured soft drink (not a fruit juice canned or otherwise) marketed by Pepsi?

Answer: Slice

The other 3 are mango flavoured/pulp based drinks too. Maaza is owned by Coca Cola.
