Mango – Health and Processing!

Mangoes are also an excellent source of vitamin C, folic acid and copper. Ripe mangoes contain polyphenols such as beta-carotene, lutein and other carotenoids, which among other things are responsible for the bright yellow color. Red mangoes, on the other hand, contain anthocyanins. Mango is a great addition to sauces and dressings thanks to its sweet and light flavor and creamy texture.

When is a mango ripe? You can tell if your mango is ripe by gently squeezing it. The mango should give slightly when squeezed. Since there are different types of mangoes with different colors, you should not use the color as an indication of ripeness.

ripening mango! Sometimes when I buy mangoes from the store they are quite hard, so I let them sit in my kitchen for a few days to let them soften and sweeten. Once it’s ripe but I don’t eat it right away, I keep it in the fridge for up to five days. Cold mango straight from the fridge is so refreshing and delicious!

Cut mango! I know slicing into a mango can be a bit intimidating, but once you try it, I promise you’ll be a pro. It’s a lot easier than it looks! In my Quick Mango Pickles recipe, I have a step-by-step guide , with pictures, to explain how to cut a mango.

Combinations & Alternatives

I love the combination of caramelized sweet potatoes, black beans, and broccoli for a hearty, slightly Cuban twist! But feel free to use what you have on hand.

  • If you don’t have black beans on hand, use chickpeas.
  • Substitute spelled with brown rice, quinoa, or couscous. Millet works great here too.
  • Instead of sweet potatoes, you can use Hokkaido or butternut squash.
  • Omit the broccoli and add veggies like roasted cauliflower or Brussels sprouts.
  • And if you don’t have tahini on hand, almond butter works as a great substitute instead.
