As we savor the magical time of spring, with its budding leaves, chirping birds and blooming flowers, consider this: mangos are bountiful during this time of the year! Although mangos can be found year-round, this time of year marks the start for peak availability of Honey, Keitt, Francis, Haden, and Tommy Atkins varieties.

In addition to their amazing fruity flavor, mangos contain several key nutrients which may help your body’s natural immune system to work properly. These include important micronutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin C.

Just one 3/4 cup serving of tasty mango provides:

• 8% of your daily Vitamin A
• 8% of your daily vitamin B6
• 50% of your daily vitamin C
