Mangoes

Mangos

During the last decade of her long reign, a curious Queen Victoria sent for a mango from India to taste – but after a six-week voyage, what she got wasn’t much good anymore. Because Pittman & Davis Tropical Mangoes are grown in Florida and rushed right to your door after you place your order, you get to find out what the rest of the world has known for generations – fresh mangoes are an incredible taste treat – as well as being incredibly good for you!

There’s nothing like the taste of fresh mango! Mangoes are delicious when eaten fresh out of hand on a hot summer’s day and add a tropical zing to smoothies and main dishes – as well as a big nutritional kick.

• Pittman & Davis Tropical Mangoes are harvested in Florida at their peak of ripeness and freshness
• Low in calories yet high in nutrients, mangos qualify as a superfood
• Bursting with sweet, juicy tropical flavor
• A healthy and nutritious way to satisfy your sweet tooth

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:

• 70 calories
• 0 g fat
• 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.
