Rich in Vitamin A
The mango tree, originally from lndia, is a tropical tree which belongs to the Anacardiaceae family the same as the cashew tree. ln Brazil, there are around five hundred varieties of mango, varying widely in size, shape and color. The smallest mangoes are the size of a plum, while the bigger varieties can weigh up to 2kg. Mangoes also vary greatly in shape, being round, oval, heart shaped or elongated.
As regards color, the skin can be dark green, yellow or red, depending on the variety. Mango pulp is succulent, with a very distinctive flavor; it is sometimes fibrous and has a color that ranges from light yellow to dark orange.
Mangoes are extremely rich in vitamin A (especially when ripe) and contain reasonable quantities of complex B vitamins and vitamin C, as well as some mineral salts, mainly iron.
They also have diuretic properties, which means they are recommended for people who tend to retain liquid in their bodies. The bark of the tree is used as an infusion for the treatment of colic.
The leaves and pulp of the fruit in syrup form are recommended against colds and bronchitis. The leaves and skin are also used in the treatment of dairrhoea and asthma.
