Mango puree with fresh orange juice and almond slivers
The mango fruit is of great cultural importance in India and is used in various healthcare applications, including haemostasis. The powder of ground mango seeds helps with diarrhoea, rheumatism, worm infestation, and even smallpox. The resin of the mango tree branches is said to be diaphoretic. For angina, the leaves are boiled, and the decoction is used to rinse the mouth and throat. It is also used for asthma, bronchitis, and toothache. In Europe, mango trees are mainly grown in Spain. The red-yellow-skinned fruit can be eaten raw or dried to decorate dishes or made into a delicious puree.
