Just recently I had a big box of mangoes delivered to my home from the National Mango Board, and I recently posted a Mango-Raspberry Phyllo Triangles for dessert. When I  left for N.Y.C for my daughter’s graduation, I placed the mangoes in my refrigerator for when I return.  While I was reading the June issue of Fine Cooking Magazine this week, I discovered this mouth-watering recipe written by Ronne Day. This was a winner!  The mango and sweet honey combination made my tongue just want to sing. This is a recipe I will always keep and serve on warm summer nights.

Fresh Mangos

Let’s look at the Mango :

  • When it comes to your gut, you might want to grab a mango. The scientists at Texas A & M University found that mango, which contains a combination of polyphenols and fiber, was more effective than an equivalent amount of fiber powder in relieving constipation.
  • Each serving of mango is fat free, sodium free and cholesterol free.
  • Mangos contain over 20 different vitamins and minerals, helping to make them a superfood.
  • 3/4 cup of mango provides 50% of your daily vitamin C, 8% of your daily Vitamin A and 8% of your daily vitamin B6.
  • For more information take a look at the Mango Nutritional Board.

If you love mangoes, this is the perfect sorbet for you! The honey-mint combination brightens the sorbet without making it too sweet.
