About Mango mousse

Mango mousse is a light and creamy dessert made with ripe mangoes, whipped cream, or similar bases, and occasionally gelatin as a thickener. Originating from tropical regions where mangoes are plentiful, it is popular in Indian, Southeast Asian, and global cuisines. Mangoes contribute a sweet, tangy profile and are rich in essential nutrients. A 1-cup serving of mango provides around 99 calories, 2.6g fiber, and 67% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C. It is also a source of vitamin A, folate, and antioxidants. When combined with cream or yogurt, the mousse acquires more fat and protein content, depending on the preparation style.

Health Benefits

• Rich in vitamin C, mangoes support immune health by providing up to 67% of the daily requirement per cup.
• Contains beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, essential for maintaining healthy vision and skin.
• Provides dietary fiber (2.6g per cup of mango), aiding digestion and promoting gut health.

Common Questions About Mango mousse Nutrition

Is mango mousse high in protein?

Mango mousse typically has low protein content, with around 2-3 grams of protein per 100 grams depending on the recipe, as it is primarily made from mangoes, sugar, and cream. If using Greek yogurt or protein-fortified ingredients, the protein content may be slightly higher.

Can I eat mango mousse on a keto or low-carb diet?

Mango mousse is generally not suitable for keto or strict low-carb diets, as mangoes are high in natural sugars and carbohydrates. A typical serving of mango mousse can contain 20-25 grams of carbs, depending on added sugars and other ingredients. For a keto-friendly version, consider using a sugar substitute and low-carb fruits.

Are there any health benefits or concerns with eating mango mousse?

Mango mousse can provide some key nutrients, such as vitamin C and vitamin A, from the mangoes. However, it is often high in sugar and calories, which can be a concern for individuals managing their weight or blood sugar levels. Moderation is essential to enjoy its taste while mitigating health risks.

What is the recommended serving size for mango mousse?

A typical serving size of mango mousse is around ½ cup (approximately 100-120 grams), which can contain anywhere from 150 to 300 calories depending on the recipe. It's best to stick to this portion to avoid excessive calorie or sugar intake.

How does mango mousse compare to other fruit desserts?

Compared to other fruit desserts like fruit sorbet or fruit salads, mango mousse tends to be higher in calories and fat because of its creamy base. However, its creamy and airy texture makes it a more indulgent treat, ideal for special occasions rather than everyday consumption.
