[8:51] Mangoes On A Stick, Serving Suggestion For A Beautiful Display of Fruit
Originally from India, mangos have been around for over 4,000 years. According to legend, Buddha found peace in a mango grove. In modern day India, mangoes are considered a symbol of life.

Mangoes are one of the best sources of betacarotene, quercetin and astragalin. These are powerful antioxidants that neutralise free radicals. Free radicals can damage cells and lead to heart disease, cancer, premature aging and degenerative diseases.
Vitamin Powerhouse

One small mango provides a quarter of your recommended daily allowance for vitamin C, nearly two thirds of your daily quota for vitamin A, good amounts of vitamin E and fibre. They also contain vitamin K, phosphorus and magnesium. Mangoes are particularly rich in potassium which can help reduce the risk of high blood pressure.
Pectin Lowers Cancer Risk

Mangoes also contain pectin, a soluble dietary fibre, which has been shown to lower blood cholesterol levels. Recently, scientists at The Institute for Food Research, discovered that a fragment released from pectin binds to, and inhibits galectin 3, a protein that plays a role in all stages of cancer progression. Other population studies, including the European Prospective Investigation of Cancer, have identified a strong link between eating lots of fibre and a lower risk of cancers of the gastrointestinal tract.
Low Calorie

Mangoes are a considered a high volume food which means you get a lot of food for a relatively small amount of calories one mango contains around 135 calories. However, they are quite high in natural sugar with one mango containing around 30g.

There appears to be different types, are the green ones just as good?

[MakeoverSessions]

@Jagdtoq I don't know!

[Jagdtoq]

@MakeoverSessions Can we throw the question to the floor?

[MakeoverSessions]

@Jagdtoq by all means. Let's LIVE a little, shall we?

[Jagdtoq]

I've never had a raw mango, it looks and sounds chewy and fibrous?

[MakeoverSessions]

@Jagdtoq It's not unless it's NOT ripe. When it's ripe, OH MY GOSH, it practically melts in your mouth. FIND ONE and report back to me.....make sure it's squishy to the touch and with color on the rind.

@jagdtoq- well green ones taste sour. they taste nice will alittle salt and chilly powder. there are many types of mangoes. they come in diff sizes and some r sweeter than the other. most popular is alphonso mango. they r vry sweet. some mangoes are only for juice purposes so they r squisher than others so easy to make juice out of them. mangoes are eaten along with icecream n other indian desserts as well to add a twist to the dessert. hope this was helpful! enjoin mango season here in india!:)
