What does a mango taste like?This is what I found on the Internet when I set out to look for an apt answer to this question.
"There are many different varieties of mango available, so no one answer will describe all of them. I would describe it as a cross between a nectarine, an orange and a pineapple. Its sweeter than a nectarine (when at its prime ripeness), but not as sharp as the orange.
Dried mangoes are also just as delicious as other dried fruits and I enjoy them a lot.
It is good to sample a mango at varying stages of ripeness, as I like them when they just start to turn, while my mom (the other mango fan in the family) likes them at the end stage of their ripeness, a stage she refers to as 'drained'."
If you have never tasted a mango, try it out and I am sure you will simply love it. Some love it when it is green, raw and has a tangy sour taste. Others love the rich, yellow, succulent and sweet ripe stage.
It's not just the taste of this noble fruit that makes it the king of fruits. It's also the
health benefits associated with it.
Mango is rich in nutrients. It contains a lot of vitamin C and vitamin A. In fact raw mangoes contain more vitamin C than either half-ripe or ripe mangoes. Raw mango is also a good source of vitamin B1, B2 and niacin. Mangoes also contain traces of vitamins E and K.
Read here about the natural benefits and curative properties of mangoes...both raw and ripe.
What's more... recent research says mangoes help prevent cancers too.
No wonder, therefore, that mango ranks number one in the list of the top 20 superfruits from across the world.
I love diced ripe mango pieces dressed with a large scoop of vanilla icecream. How do you love your mangoes?
