What is Mango? The mango is quite a unique fruit.

It is the most popular Asiatic fruit and has acquired the nickname of "The King of Asiatic Fruits."

It has value both as a diet item and as a household remedy.

Mangoes are various sizes with color mixtures of green, yellow, and red.

The fruit inside is stony endocarp, also in varying sizes.

Although some mangoes are very fibrous with an unpleasant turpentine flavor, the best ones are juice, sweet, have little fiber, and have a deliciously spicy or tangy flavor to them.

Benefits and Uses of Mango juice:

A ripe mango's fruit flesh consists of 15 percent sugar, up to 1 percent protein, and large amounts of Vitamins A, B, and C.

Green or unripe mangoes have a large amount of starch that turns into glucose, sucrose, and maltose as the fruit starts to ripen, disappearing totally when it reaches maturity.

Green mango is a good source of pectin, but this slowly diminishes once the stone forms.

The sour taste in unripe mango is the result of oxalic, citric, malic, and succinic acids that are present.

A mango is very high in many different nutrients, minerals, and vitamins.
