An Irwin mango treasure

Just imagine this Irwin mango sitting on your kitchen table…

With its reddish hue and pleasant fragrance, it catches your eye. You can't resist it. You pick up a plate and carefully cut it. You put it in your mouth: smooth and fiber-free, with a pleasant aroma... Even its thin skin, full of nutrients, can be eaten with it. Your taste buds are delighted. And you feel your whole body thanking you for the nutrients you're offering it.

Then your mind starts to travel. It starts to wander through a small orchard in Andalusia, with trees full of mangoes. You can see that nature is respected here. A young man and his family pamper the land, and there's not a pesticide in sight. The fruit is not picked until it has reached the peak of its flavor. It's just the perfect way we'd like it to be on any farm in the world.

This place exists. Iulian takes care of it. And you can buy his mangoes right now at Jurassic Fruit.

How to store it?

Keep mango at room temperature until ripe and ready to eat.

Once ripe, you can place it in the refrigerator to prolong its freshness. It will keep for 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator.

What are its health benefits?

Mango is a nutritious fruit that can help keep the body healthy, especially the heart, eyes, immune and digestive systems.

Main nutrients of mango

Mango is rich in:

  • vitamin B9: provides 35.10% of the RDA, i.e. 70.20 µg per 100 g
  • vitamin C: provides 31.25% of the RDA, i.e. 25 mg per 100 g

Mango is a source of:

  • vitamin A (carotenoid family): provides 18% of the RDA, i.e. 144 µg per 100 g. Mango is the 5th fruit with the highest β-carotene content (Ciqual 2020 table)
  • vitamin E: provides 17.08% of RDA, i.e. 2.05 mg per 100 g. Mango is the fruit with the highest vitamin E content, just behind blackcurrants (Ciqual 2020 table)

Good to know, mango contains two main types of phytonutrients with antioxidant effects:

  • carotenoids, contained in large quantities in the pulp, which give it its beautiful yellow to orange color
  • polyphenols, contained mainly in the skin and core

Mango contains several polyphenols with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, protecting against cell degeneration.

To make the most of its polyphenols, and in particular mangiferin (often offered as a dietary supplement because of its many benefits on its own), we recommend that you scrape off the pulp in contact with the fruit's skin and stone. You can use a knife or your teeth to scrape the pulp.

Some mango varieties have a pleasant skin to eat - these are generally the ones with the lowest polyphenol content.
