Mango FAQs
Let’s address a few questions that might have come up when scrolling through all those recipes.
What can I do with a lot of mangoes?
One great way to use up mangoes is by making a fresh salsa. You can make a delicious fruit salad with mango chunks, it works well in soups, curries, and chutneys too. It can be used in a variety of savory dishes and desserts.
For example, end your summer barbecue with some homemade mango sorbet. Mango sorbet can also be incorporated into dessert, smoothies and parfaits. Mango jam, mango ice-cream and of course (healthy) mango smoothies are classics as well.
What goes well with mangoes?
Mango has a tropical taste that pairs very well with bananas, coconut, rice, avocado, cardamom, cream cheese, red onion, black beans, lemon and lime juices.
What are the benefits of mangoes?
One cup of diced mangoes clock in at around 100kcal. Mangoes contain immunity-boosting nutrients, and even the potential to help control diabetes. It is also a good source of dietary fiber and is excellent for people suffering from constipation.
Mangoes are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, which help protect you from heart disease and certain cancers. Mango contains potassium which helps regulate blood pressure levels by balancing fluid levels in the body.
In addition, mangoes are packed with vitamins A and C, which promote good vision and help support the immune system. They also contain potassium which helps regulate blood pressure and support heart health.
People with diabetes often have difficulty maintaining normal blood sugar levels due to the insulin resistance associated with their disease. Mangoes contain phytochemicals called polyphenols that may help reduce insulin resistance by improving insulin sensitivity in cells.
Can I freeze fresh mangoes?
You can freeze mangoes without a problem. A good way to do this is to just peel the mango and cut them up into cubes, and then put them in a resealable freezer bag.
It’s not a good idea to keep mangoes at room temperature after they have been cut. It can cause the fruit to be spoiled faster.
Alright peeps, there you have it! Loads of delicious and easy mango recipes and the most asked questions on mangoes answered! I’d love to know which recipe you went for eventually!

I’m not a foodie, although I do love eating. I believe food should serve us and our goals, not hinder. Taking control and responsibility for what I eat is important to me. Lots of veggie protein is my way forward.
