Touch, smell n' eat
The outside of the mango feels pretty smooth.
When it isn't ripe it is really hard, but when
it is, it is slightly soft to the touch.
The inside feels slick because of the juice and
really soft
The smell of the mango depends on the place.
If you smell the peel, it doesn't really smell
like anything, but if you try smelling it near
the stem it will smell sweet, sort of like
melon or pineapple.
When the mango isn't ripe it tastes sour (goes
well with some chili and lemon :P). When it
is ripe it is juicy and has bittersweet taste,
sort of like lemon mixed with pineapple.

The mango's geography
The common mango species, or Mangifera indica, grows on the largest fruit tree in the world. Mango trees are native to northeast India, where Hindu writings about mangoes date back to 4000 B.C. Mangoes were domesticated in India, and spread to East Asia around 400 B.C. By the 10th century, mangoes were cultivated in East Africa, followed by the Philippines in the 15th century. Portuguese traders brought mango seeds along their route, spreading the trees to their African and Brazilian colonies in the 16th century. The American colonies were introduced to mangoes in the 17th century.
