Story details
Mango.fruits of trees planted by my ancestors
Jashvanli K. Mehta
Dry mango power is used in cooking. Mango seeds boiled, grated and then roasted are used as mouth freshener. Also seeds rubbed directly on teeth help keep them white.
There is this story when an old man was planting mango, another man asked "Why are you planting, when you are not going to eat its fruits?" Old man replied "I am eating fruits of trees planted by my ancestors; my grandchildren will reap the fruits planted by me."
This story was contributed through Plant Cultures workshops with Shravika Satsang Mandal based at Dennis Jackson Community Centre, London.
