Mango is the National fruit of India. It is the King of all fruits. It has always been my favorite fruit since my childhood days. There were number of Mango recipes that my mother used to make for me and my family and we used to love it thoroughly. Mangoes are mostly used in form of pickle, fruit, juice, jam, jelly etc. Mangoes are rich in fiber, Vitamin A/B/C/E/K, Iron, Calcium. Mangoes are good for heart, helps in reducing constipation, helps in increasing stamina, eye disorder, piles, indigestion, diarrhea, hair loss, heart stoke , etc. Talking about Mint it is mostly used in all Indian cuisines, as it helps in giving aromatic flavor to the food.
