There's much more in Mango than an exotic great taste! Mangoes contain a digestive enzyme similar to papain (found in papaya), which is a soothing digestive aid. These are proteolytic enzymes that break down proteins and are effective meat tenderizers. Mangoes contain phenolic compounds, which are compounds that are potent antioxidants. Mangoes are also high in Beta-carotene, Potassium, Magnesium, B vitamins, Vitamin C and are a great source of dietary fiber. The Mango is the most economically important fruit in the Anacardiaceae family, which includes Cashew, poison ivy and pistachios. The mango is native to southern Asia, especially around Myanmar and eastern India. |
