Mangoes are one of the leading fruit crops of the world. Did you know that more mangoes are consumed on a regular basis thoughout the world than apples? Mangoes originated in India, and are now grown in many parts of the tropical locations around the world. In the US they are grown in California, Hawaiii and Florida.
Mangoes are great sources of potassium, Vitamin C, carotenes, and lavonoids. They provide a rich assortment of antioxidants and are simply delicious when ripe. How can you know that your mango is ripe? It should yield to pressure, like an avocado, skin should be yellowish-green, and it should emit a deliciously sweet fragnance.
Pinapple is low in calories and makes a fantastic base for fruit drinks. Fresh pineapple juice is rich in bromelain (bromelain helps in a number of health conditions, including indigestion, arthisis, and even cancer), enzymes, vitamin C, and potassium. Oranges are also a rich source of vitamin C and flavonoids.
When you have a chance, try this delicious Sunshine Mango Juicer cocktail.
