# Mango Rankings

> A public mango field guide: tasting profiles, country introductions, local names and source-backed histories. Human pages have Markdown companions; public datasets are static read-only JSON.

Despite the name, there is no quality ranking, score or review rating. Alphabetical catalogue order and featured selections are for discovery. Tasting associations are editorial descriptions, not ingredients or measurements. An associated place is not necessarily a botanical origin.

Coverage distinguishes complete country introductions (guide), published local names and stories (names), and unverified directory placeholders (researching). The directory includes 195 countries; Puerto Rico is a separate territory. A placeholder does not establish local mango varieties or their absence. History evidence distinguishes documented history, local tradition and a name record. Read each story's prose and citations before stating an origin. Personal passport information stays in the visitor's browser and is never exported here.
