Great post! What an amazing fruit.
Ditto. Yes it is an amazing fruit. Love the taste.
I never knew Mango was so good for a person. Good information here as always.
Thanks Randy.
I like mango but never really thought about the benefits of it.
I'm going to have to start eating it more, especially in the summer time. I just read in one of my books that mangoes contain a ton of water and pureed and frozen it's great for smoothies among other recipes.
A good way to preserve the fruit.
When we think of fruit we never tend to think of the benefits, we just eat them. You are right though, mangoes like most other fruit contain a high percentage of water.
I also think mangoes would make wonderful smoothies.
