Pittman & Davis Mangoes are a Healthy Snack
Mangoes are more than just delicious – they’re a nutritional powerhouse. Packed with many vitamins and antioxidants, mangoes help boost your immune system, reduce your risk of heart disease and skin cancer, improve eye and skin health and lower your risk of developing some cancers (especially breast cancer).
Eating just a single mango gives you three times the recommended daily intake of vitamins A and C and more beta-carotene than any other fruit. They’re also high in energy and low in calories and fat.
Mangoes contain folate, B6, iron and a little calcium, zinc and vitamin E. Mangoes are a good source of antioxidants, containing certain phytochemicals such as gallotannins and mangiferin which have been studied for their health benefits.
All of this means that when summer mango season comes around, you should feel free to partake without guilt, safe in the knowledge you’re doing some good for your body as well as for your taste buds!
A ¾-cup serving of mango chunks contains about:

- 18 g carbohydrates
- 17 g sugars
- 50% of your daily vitamin C, 8% of your daily Vitamin A and 8% of your daily vitamin B6
Pittman & Davis Topical Mangoes as a Gift
Oohhhh, mango! There’s nothing like the sweet-tart, juicy flesh of fresh mangoes during the spring and summer. This “fruit of queens” is not only incredibly delicious eaten fresh or when used to add a tropical flair to recipes (smoothies, salads and salsas are just a few examples of what mangoes are good for) it’s incredibly healthy, too! A nutritional powerhouse, the health benefits of mango are many: high in fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, a fresh mango has so much beta-carotene you can see it! (That’s what gives the succulent flesh its characteristic, dark-gold hue.) Plus, a one-cup serving of diced mango has only about 120 calories, so mango benefits a low-calorie diet, too.

Tropical Mangoes
Hmm, how to describe the exact flavor of sweet mangoes…how about “out of this world?” Fresh mangoes have a juicy, exotic flavor that makes them one of the most popular fruits around the world. When ripe, the flavor of a mango resembles a combination of a peach or nectarine with a hint of pineapple and a splash of citrus overtones.
