We take our dried Mangoes
and give them some extra zip with a chili zest. These Mangoes are
more moist and pliable than without the chili zest.
Mangoes are a great
nutritional bargain. They have 50% more beta carotene than an
equal-size serving of apricots, and 20% more than cantaloupe, enough to
provide almost 80% of your vitamin A requirement. They are also high
in vitamin C. In addition, they are a good source of potassium.

FACTS: Many Americans still consider mangoes to be an exotic
fruit, but in tropical areas, they are as common as apples. Mangoes
originated in Southeast Asia about 4,000 years ago, and India is still the
major producer, growing more mangoes than all other fruits combined.
In the 10th century, Persian sailors are said to have taken the mango to
East Africa and, some 600 years later, travelers from Portugal took them
to West Africa and South America. By 1775, mangoes had been
introduced to Mexico, where they are now an important export crop. |
