Thai Milk Mango (Mangifera indica spp.)

Mangifera indica, commonly known as mango, is a tropical evergreen tree in the Anacardiaceae family. Native to South Asia, it is widely cultivated across tropical and subtropical regions for its sweet, juicy fruits, which are consumed fresh, dried, or processed into juices, jams, and culinary dishes. Traditionally, various parts of the tree—including leaves, bark, and seeds—have been used in folk medicine for digestive, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial purposes. With its culinary, medicinal, and cultural significance, Mangifera indica remains an important species in tropical agriculture, home gardens, and regional traditions.
