RECIPE: Tahitian Mango Ginger Soup
Coqui the Chef interviewed Dori and asked her...
What are the nutrition facts for mangos?
Mangos are a rich source of soluble fiber, vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, iron and beta carotene.
Are the mangos high on sugar bad for diabetics?
Mango can be safe for diabetics because the sugar in them, as well as other fruits, are low GI. This means they promote a gradual increase in blood sugar and not a spike. Fruit juices should be avoided because of the added sugar.
What are the health benefits mango provides? for example, do they lower risk of cardiovascular disease?
Mangos can help protect against cancer due to the high amount of antioxidants present. They can also help with digestion due to the enzymes they contain. They also lower cholesterol, prevent heart disease, and if the skin is applied directly to the face, they can help with acne.
