About Mango tart

Mango tart is a dessert that combines fresh mangoes with a buttery tart crust, often topped with a light custard or cream filling. Originating from tropical regions where mangoes are abundant, this dish is particularly popular in cuisines from Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and parts of Europe. Nutritionally, fresh mangoes are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, and dietary fiber. When used in a tart, the nutritional profile can vary based on additional ingredients such as cream, eggs, and sugar, which increase the calorie and fat content while reducing overall fiber. Despite being considered an indulgent dessert, it provides a serving of fruit paired with the flavors of a baked pastry base.
