Mango

Native to South Asia, mangoes have been cultivated around the world for thousands of years. Prized for their bright aroma and sweet, juicy flavor, mangoes can be eaten raw or blended into sauces and marinades, baked into tempting desserts, mixed into fruity beverages, infused in spirits, and much more. There are hundreds of different types of mango, each with a unique taste, shape, size and color.

Low in calories and high in fiber, mangoes offer numerous health benefits:

• They contain more than a dozen antioxidant compounds, all of which help protect against free-radical damage;
• They’re a rich source of vitamins A, B6, C, K and E, as well as folic acid, iron, zinc and potassium. These nutrients collectively boost immunity and are especially effective in promoting health during pregnancy;
• Mangoes also are believed to support heart and digestive health, as well as eye, skin and hair health.
