Description

Mango Per Each

Taste:

• Mangoes have a leathery, smooth skin. The vibrant yellow to orange flesh is aromatic and juicy, with a texture similar to a peach. The flavor is complex and sweet, with notes of peach, coconut, and vanilla or caramel, and is sometimes balanced with a slight tartness. The skin of Mangoes is inedible, and actually contains a sap that can be irritating to some people.

Nutrition:

• Mangoes are a good source of fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and potassium. They also contain natural enzymes that assist in breaking down proteins.

Storage:

• When mangos are ripe, they should be stored in the refrigerator, which helps to slow down the ripening process. Whole, ripe mangos can be stored for up to five days in the refrigerator. Mangos that are peeled or cubed can be placed in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for up to six months.
