Mangoes may well be the most consumed fruit on the planet!

Mangoes are loaded with Vitamin A (it must be that carrot-colour inside) and a whopping dose of Vitamin C, too.
The fiber content in this fruit will slow down the absorption of the 14 grams of sugar an average mango contains
Diabetics are advised to consume greens or protein when enjoying a mango.
Mangoes are also indicated to be positive in managing glaucoma and macular degeneration.

I picked up a box of Atulfo Mangoes at IGA last week and will freeze them as they ripen. A potato peeler is my preferred method of taking off the skin. You can follow the shape of the large shell for two good size cuts and than deal with the left over on the edges.

Serving Ideas

How about a green salad with a handful of soaked almonds and half a Mango for lunch?
Half of the frozen mangoes in our house end up in the blender with greens, turmeric, cucumber and lemon for a sweet and creamy smoothie.
The other half ends up in the food processor with a frozen banana for delicious ice cream. You can add thick coconut cream, scooped from the top of a refrigerated can of coconut milk.
The following recipe was on the menu in my Cambodian cooking class. Our dressing included hard to find kafir leaves and lemon grass)

Cambodian-Inspired Mango Carrot Salad

a little cayenne or freshly ground pepper
