Go Mad for Mango

Make Your Gametime Snacks a Little More Joyful
Forget your standard chips and dip. Mangos bring a burst of guilt-free sweetness and complex flavor that will take your gameday snacks to a whole new level. As the world’s most versatile superfruit, mango can satisfy every craving, whether you’re after something refreshing, spicy, indulgent or just plain sweet. From zesty salsas to fiery wings and so much more, check out why mango is your secret ingredient for a game-winning snack spread.
Easy Mango Recipes You’ll Go Mad For
Whoever said sweets are bad for you? Mangos bring incredible flavor and a variety of vitamins and minerals, so you can feel good about tasting the joy. A single serving of mango can provide half of your recommended daily Vitamin C, which helps support your immune system and is a key factor in the growth of muscle and collagen. Additionally, mangos also provide Vitamin A (8% or 67 mg), Vitamin B6 (8% or 0.147 mg) and fiber (7% or 2 g). All that in one ¾ cup serving! Of course, we could talk for hours about the benefits of mango, but we know you want us to get to the good stuff — so for more fast mango facts, check out our nutrition page.
