Mango Nutrition and Diet Notes

• We can say that mango is low in calories and fat.
• Iron in mango is said to be suitable for pregnant women as well as for people suffering from anemia.

• Mangoes are high in Vitamin C and B6 along with a decent amount of minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium and copper.

Mango Selection

• There are hundreds of different varieties of mangoes available in different colors, so a yellow color alone cannot indicate that the mango is correct for selection and is properly ripe.
• The best way is to feel the mango by taking it in your hand, smelling it and pressing it gently. The soft mushy feeling and the strong sweet smell will be a sign of a perfect well done mango that is ready to eat.
• If the mango is not fully grown, it should be folded in a paper bag or a news paper and should be placed in a warm place for a few days.
• A regular check should be maintained to pick the ripe mangoes out of the bag.
