I love mangos! We used to live up north and I beyond doubt never heard of a mango growing up-we were strictly an apple, orange and banana family. But when we moved to the sun belt I discovered mangos and use them in foods and recipes whenever I can.
Because our family is into eating as wholesome as possible, fruit smoothies are a large part of our diet and we are always whipping up some a fruit smoothie mix with fresh or frozen mango chunks. We have used them with a wide range vegetable and fruit such as spinach, carrots, bananas, and strawberries. Not only are mangos a very tasty treat they are also one of those extra fruits that are very wholesome as well.
Mangos have very high amounts of vitamin C. So high in fact, a particular mango accounts for almost one half the Usda recommended daily amount for adults. And a diet using foods rich in vitamin C helps moderate both inflammations and respiratory problems. Along with the vitamin C, mangos also comprise vitamins A and E and minerals such as Iron, Potassium, and Magnesium.
As you can see, adding mangos to your diet is a spectacular, way to get the benefits of a amount of dietary nutrients.
