Why is the mango hailed across the globe as the "King of Fruits"? Simple Answer: Its history is a vibrant tale of trade, cultural migration, and royal obsession. In this episode, we trace the journey of the mango from its wild origins in South Asia to its status as a global culinary icon. Learn about the legends, folklore, and horticultural history that cemented its status on the throne of fruits.

*I'm re-releasing this episode because it remains one of my personal favourites. It has a fascinating history that I didn't know about, and I enjoyed learning amazing facts during content curation. Also, since it's mango season, a re-release felt fitting.
