Description

This tropical fruit with hundreds of varieties has been named “the king of fruits” due to its delicious flavor and many health benefits.

One of its most impressive nutrient facts is that just 1 cup (165 grams) of fresh mango provides nearly 67% of the DV for vitamin C.

This water-soluble vitamin aids your immune system, helps your body absorb iron, and promotes cell growth and repair.

Mango is also a good source of the minerals copper and folate, which are especially important nutrients during pregnancy, as they support healthy fetal growth and development.

Mango is low in calories yet high in nutrients — particularly vitamin C, which aids immunity, iron absorption, and cell growth and repair.

Mango is a good source of folate, copper, several B vitamins, as well as vitamins A, C, K, and E — all of which may help boost immunity.

Mango contains magnesium, potassium, and the antioxidant mangiferin, which all support healthy heart function.

Mango contains lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamin A, all of which support eye health. Lutein and zeaxanthin may protect your eyes from the sun, while a lack of vitamin A can create vision problems.
