Mango is an important ingredient in South American cooking. Mangoes thrive in tropical climates, so they are plentiful in many different varieties. The taste of a locally ripened mango is a world apart from those that have been picked while still green and shipped to colder climes. But fortunately for those of us who live in nontropical regions can buy frozen mango, which works well in many dishes, especially desserts.
