About Mango bingsu

Mango Bingsu is a popular Korean dessert made from finely shaved ice, sweet mango chunks, and often topped with condensed milk, whipped cream, or ice cream. Originating in South Korea, Bingsu has become a cherished summertime treat due to its refreshing and creamy texture. Nutritionally, this dessert varies based on ingredients. Mango provides a natural source of vitamins and fiber, while condensed milk and other toppings introduce additional calories, sugars, and fats. A single serving of Mango Bingsu can contain anywhere from 200 to over 500 calories, depending on the portion size and specific recipe. With mango as a central ingredient, this dessert is rich in immune-boosting Vitamin C and beta-carotene, but also tends to be high in added sugars from toppings.

Common Questions About Mango bingsu Nutrition

What is the nutritional content of Mango Bingsu?

Mango Bingsu typically contains around 200-400 calories per serving depending on portion size, toppings, and added sugars. It is low in protein, averaging 3-5g per serving, and provides essential nutrients from the mango such as vitamin C (up to 50% of the recommended daily intake in a serving) and small amounts of vitamin A and fiber.

Can I eat Mango Bingsu on a keto or low-carb diet?

Mango Bingsu is not suitable for a keto or low-carb diet as it contains significant sugars and carbohydrates from mango (approximately 15g carbs per 100g) and sweetened condensed milk or syrups often used as toppings. Substitutions like sugar-free syrup and low-carb fruits could make a keto-friendly version possible.

Are there health benefits or concerns with eating Mango Bingsu?

Mango Bingsu provides a source of vitamin C from fresh mango, which supports immune health and skin repair. However, it can be high in added sugars, potentially exceeding 25g of sugar per serving, which may contribute to blood sugar spikes and increased calorie intake if consumed frequently.

What is the recommended portion size for Mango Bingsu?

A single serving of Mango Bingsu typically ranges from 1 to 1.5 cups (200-300g). This amount balances the enjoyment of the dessert without excessive calorie or sugar intake. Sharing larger portions among multiple people is also a good option to manage portions.

How does Mango Bingsu compare to other similar desserts like mango sorbet or ice cream?

Compared to mango sorbet or ice cream, Mango Bingsu often has a lighter texture and is lower in fat due to the use of shaved ice as the base. However, it can sometimes be higher in sugar depending on the toppings and syrups used. Mango sorbet might be the healthiest choice among the three if it uses less sugar and no heavy cream.
