Mango season's coming - The variety of ways we can enjoy this fruit


If you're like me, you probably know two types of mangoes - ripe and green. These are the default. 

However, there are so many varieties of mangoes that come from just as many regions. Those who are curious and crave culinary experiences quickly realize that there are so many things that can be done with mangoes. 

  • Savoury 
  • Sweet 
  • Chilled
  • Frozen 
  • Creamy 
  • Baked 
  • Pickled 




Feast your eyes and stomachs on just a few of the dishes that can be created from mangoes. My findings is that there are pretty much as many dishes as they are species of mangoes, so you can never become bored. 

If being delicious wasn't enough, mangoes also have health benefits:
  1. protective antioxidants 
  2. promote healthy skin and hair
  3. aid digestion 
  4. facilitate healthy heart health
  5. supportive of eye health
With these offerings it is difficult not to absolutely love a mango, whatever the species. Pick up your mangoes today and explore the diversity of flavours, textures, and visual appeal. I'm sure that by the time you're done you will look forward with glee to the fact that mango season's coming.
