About Mango slices

Mango slices originate from the tropical fruit mango, native to South Asia but now cultivated widely in tropical and subtropical climates around the world. Revered as 'the king of fruits,' mango is celebrated in Asian, Latin American, and African cuisines. Mango slices are not only juicy and delicious but also packed with essential nutrients. A 1-cup serving (165g) of mango provides approximately 99 calories, 24.7g of carbohydrates, and 2.6g of dietary fiber, along with significant amounts of vitamins A (89 mcg, 10% DV) and C (60.1 mg, 67% DV). Mangoes also supply small amounts of potassium (277 mg, 6% DV) and folate, making them a nutritional powerhouse that's naturally low in fat and sodium.
