The Mango Tree…

It can live for several decades, continuing to produce its sweet, aromatic fruit year after year.
This delicious fruit starts out with dazzling, aromatic flowers that will leave your garden smelling like a fancy spa.
When ripe, mangoes come in a range of vibrant colors from green to yellow, orange or red, depending on the variety. It also comes in varying sizes and shapes.
You don't have a choice but to love mango, these juicy little troublemakers will steal your heart and make your taste buds dance with joy.
Just watchout…
Beyond The Taste
What's so special about this fruit?
Eating mango is like inviting a tropical party to your taste buds.
However, there is more to it than just that.
This juicy fruit is loaded with vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, A, E, B, potassium and magnesium.
They contain antioxidants which helps boost immune system and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Due to their high source of dietary fiber they promote regular bowel movements and prevent constipation — it will keep your digestive system running smoother than greased lips.
The potassium and magnesium in mangoes may help regulate blood pressure and support heart health.
Mango contains vitamin C which helps produce collagen, a protein that supports skin elasticity.
Mangoes are relatively low in calories and high in fiber, which helps you feel full and assist in weight management.
The beta-carotene in mangoes support good vision — the bright orange color is like sunshine for your eyes, boosting your mood and making you want to smile.
So go ahead, munch on a mango and let your taste buds tango.
