Mango is a very common fruit in people’s daily life and has a very good effect on people’s health. Especially in some tropical areas, people like to grow mangoes as green plants.

When this situation occurs, many people will worry that eating green mangoes will have a bad effect on their health, regardless of what medicine the mangoes have been sprayed with. So can the green mangoes grown be eaten?

1. The greening mango is a public landscape. Citizens are not allowed to pick it without permission. There are great safety hazards in climbing the tree or standing on the roadside to pick the fruit;

2. Every year, gardeners spray roadside trees with insect repellent and mosquito repellent pesticides. In addition, mangoes used for greening absorb a lot of pollution such as automobile exhaust and are absolutely not suitable for consumption.

3. The green mangosteens on the roadside are not grown according to the standards for edible mangosteens. They have more fiber, less water, poor taste, and low nutritional value.

However, the ornamental value of greening Miscanthus is still very high.

As a native tree of Lingnan, mango tree has the characteristics of neat shape, luxuriant branches and leaves, large crown and dense shade, straight trunk, rapid growth and easy maintenance. It is an excellent street tree species. It is widely planted in cities of all sizes in the Pearl River Delta region.

The fruits of greening mangoes will fall off when they are ripe, which poses a hidden danger. In order to eliminate safety hazards, the gardening department has dispatched nearly 43 people and 6 various work vehicles every day since this week to uniformly remove the mangoes in the greening areas within its management area. In combination with typhoon prevention requirements, they have also trimmed branches that pose safety hazards. The picked mangoes will be landfilled as they are inedible.

How to distinguish between greening and edible mangoes?

Although the green mango variety and the fruit mango variety are from the same family and have the same roots, their cultivation methods in terms of soil, fertilizer, water, etc. are completely different.

Green Miscanthus: generally small in size, green-yellow in color, with thick skin and large core

Edible mango: It comes from various places, is large in size, has thin skin and small core

Look at the number of worm holes on the mango skin. Mangoes in orchards are protected by bags to prevent them from being bitten by insects, while mangoes grown on the roadside are generally not bagged, so insects such as fruit flies will lay eggs on the mangoes. Therefore, mangoes with a large number of insect eyes can be identified as green mangoes.

Therefore, the green mango has a thick skin, is not tasty, and threatens health. Picking mangoes also poses a safety issue to one’s life. It is better to spend some money to buy some fresh and juicy edible mangoes, which is the best choice.
