The king of fruits, mango fruit is one of the most popular, nutritionally rich fruits with unique flavor, fragrance, taste and health promoting qualities, making it numero-uno among new functional foods, often labeled as super fruits. In India, mango is consumed in its both raw and ripe forms. Though the ripe mango is eaten and enjoyed by people across the world, we Indians also relish the raw mango in many dishes.

The fiber in mango enhances the digestive function thereby burning more calories aiding in weight loss. Mango is an excellent source of vitamin A, B6, vitamin C and vitamin E which helps in promoting healthy skin and vision. The mango peel is also rich in many nutrients.
