You cant compare to benefits when this fruit, the mango is concerned

Fruits in bowl

It rained yesterday, and i was loving every moment of it. The rain drops fell on my skin as i put my hand out of my balcony and then i splashed the droplets on my face and felt great about it:-). We haven't had rains since months.. hehe.. yeah because it was winters and it doesn't rain here during that season :-) Ok, and i guess the mango season has already begun. The trees are already budding, and little green mangoes peep out at me. This is when i love having those raw mangoes with salt and chilli power! It creates a stinging sensation to your teeth after eating them yet i love the sourness in my mouth. You just have to close your eyes when your eat them, not passionately but when your teeth stings! haha..

Oh, i love ripe mangoes too! healthy and tasty, huh?, and when not over ripe. But i tell you, some ripened mangoes can be tasteless too :-).. its said the mangoes were first introduced in Asia, and moved on other countries but it still remains the largest producers of mangoes :-)

Benefits of mangoes:
That's right that nothing compares to mangoes when its in season. Raw mango is a valuable source of vitamin C. Mangoes also contain Vitamin A, Vitamin B and Vitamin C, fatty acids, carbohydrates and minerals and rich in anti-oxidants. Though low is calories, they are high in natural sugar. After a session of exercise, take a serving of mango and it will help replenish your body's salts, vitamins and energy.


I've also heard that mangoes is a great cure/ relief for common problems like anemia, bleeding gum's, constipation, cough, fever, nausea, sea sickness and to help with weak digestion. The peel can also be used to exfoliate your dead skin.

Best eaten when cut into cubes, or juiced in a processor. I normally just flip it into the processor, add a little water, some cardamon powder and ice-cubes and gulp it down. It refreshes my entire system in second :-)

In my words i describe it as delicious, aromatic, nutritious and excellent fruit.. Do you crave for mangoes too? :-)
