Measuring 2-10 inches in length, this fruit can weigh up to four pounds. Mangoes generally have a slight ridge on one side and a pronounced "beak" at one end. The large pit in the center has attached fibers that most often extend into the pulp. Highly aromatic, the flavor of the is sweet and the ripe pulp is very juicy.
Nutritional Value
Low in calories and fat, mangoes are a good source of fiber, rich in vitamin A and vitamin C and contain potassium and beta carotene. One average mango has about 110 calories.
Applications
Mangoes are most often eaten fresh, when their flesh is juicy and ripe, yet still somewhat firm. An overripe mango will be fibrous and very soft. Peel and diced the flesh of the mango. Add the fruit to non-yeasted sweet breads or cupcake batter. Serve slices of fresh mango with sweetened coconut rice. Blend into smoothies or juice and combine with yogurt for an Indian lassi. Diced mango may be mixed with jalapeno peppers, onion and cilantro in a fruit salsa for seafood or as a marinade. Layer slices over pastry cream in a pre-baked pie crust for a fresh fruit tart. Add diced mango to cooked quinoa with black beans and cilantro, or Asian-inspired green salads. Mangoes should be kept at room temperature and eaten as soon as they are ripe.
Geography/History
Originating in Southeast Asia, mangoes have been thriving in tropical and subtropical climates. The mango tree is an evergreen that can reach sixty feet in height. Taking four to six years to fruit, the weather has to be hot and dry in order for the trees to produce quality mangoes. In the American marketplace, mangoes are imported from South America, Mexico, Haiti and the Caribbean Islands.
