Tip, Trick & a Recipe: Mango Madness

I absolutely love mangos! They’re sweet and juicy and can be added to nearly anything or eaten plain and still be scrumptious! Put a ripe mango in the fridge and they’re a refreshing fruit to enjoy on these toasty summer days.

Mangos are a tropical fruit and are mainly grown in India. Nutritionally this fruit offers a good helping of fiber, potassium, vitamins (A, B6, C, and E), minerals, and a handful of antioxidants. It can be eaten raw and plain, added to a salad, reduced to a simple sauce, and used as a marinade for chicken, fish, and if you’re feeling really experimental, try it on steak!

Here’s your Tip:

If you cut and cube the meat of the mango, you can freeze it and use them as great ice cubes that will add color and sweetness to lemonade or any other juice of choice.

Here’s your Trick:

If you puree mangos with just a bit of lime or lemon juice and then freeze it, you’ll find that you just made a really great and naturally sweet sorbet. This sorbet would also be a great addition to a juice or maybe a summer punch!
