Did you know?

  • Mangoes are the most popular fruit in the world!


How To Pick A Ripe Mango:
  • A red color does not mean it is ripe. If a mango is slightly soft when you gently squeeze it, it is ripe.
  • Look for mangoes free from bruising and "soft spots" that are mushy.
  • Let mangoes ripen at room temperature, and refrigerate once they are ripe.
Health Benefits:

Mangoes are an excellent source of Vitamin A and Vitamin C which support immune health.  Mangoes are also a great source of folate which supports heart health.



Enjoy!
