Mango Nutrition

Few things scream “Spring!” as finding fresh mangoes available in our local farmers market or in the produce section of our grocery store. These sweet, creamy, and juicy fruits are only available during the spring and summer seasons and they’re a wonderful addition to fruit salads, overnight oats, chia seed puddings, salads, and more! Or they can simply be enjoyed on their own, with the help of a knife to open them up and cut them into cubes as shown in this picture.

Mangoes are not only rich in flavor, they are rich in nutrition too. Just one small mango can give us about 80% of the vitamin C we need per day, and it’s a great source of fiber, vitamin A, vitamin B6, folate, copper, and potassium. This means that mangoes are a great fruit to eat during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and to give to our babies when they’re over 6 months old.

Not in season? That’s okay! We can still find frozen mangoes or dried mangoes in our stores. If you’re making a mango smoothie, you can add a few dried mangoes to your frozen mangoes in the blender to enhance the flavor. Frozen mangoes are not as rich in flavor, but dried mangoes are.
