Mango Maddness!!!!!!!!!

Mangoes originated in India where they have been cultivated for over 4000 years. Somewhere In the 4th and 5th centuries, mangoes turned up in the Middle East and Africa, eventually making their way to South America and other tropical areas. Mango is a tropical fruit.

There are a huge selection of mangoes world wide. The Mango fruit is a oval and egg shaped with smooth, soft skin.  The skin is usually a combination of green, red, and yellow. The inner flesh is bright orange and soft with a large, flat pit in the middle. Mango fruits are green when they are unripe. So stay away from solid green mangoes!

The enzymes in mangos are tenderizing as are the enzymes in papaya. Mangos help to lower cholesterol, the fiber content is a wonderful aid to digestion regularity and they are rich in the vitamins A and C.
