FOOD FOCUS: MANGOES
 
learn more about this delicious fruit ...
Mangoes

The mango originated in Southeast Asia where it has been grown for over 4,000 years. Over the years mango groves have spread to many parts of the tropical and sub-tropical world, where the climate allows the mango to grow best. Mango trees are evergreens that will grow to 60 feet tall. The mango tree will fruit 4 to 6 years after planting. Mango trees require hot, dry periods to produce a good crop.

Mango is not only a delicious and aromatic tropical fruit, but also very nutritious. Mangoes contain beta- carotene (vitamin A), which is much higher than in other fruits. Eating mangoes in season may provide a store of vitamin A in the liver, sufficient to last for the rest of the year.

Just one mango contains 1-3 times your recommended daily intake of Vitamin C and beta- carotene, a cancer fighting antioxidant. As a matter of fact, mangoes contain all 4 recognized anti-oxidants (Vitamin A, Vitamins C & E and Selenium) which are known to help prevent Heart Disease, Cancer and Diabetes - the three biggest killers in the western world.
