The star of the March harvest season is the mango. When a sweet, ripe mango is paired with onion, chili, lime, cilantro, and oil, the result is an easy and delicious mango salsa—a fresh side dish that goes well with many meals. Mango salsa pairs well with chicken, turkey, shrimp, or fish, for example, and can also be used as a filling for tortillas.
Health Benefits of Delicious Mangoes:
Did you know that the mango, which has spread to every corner of the world, is one of the most widely consumed fruits in the world?
Mangoes are rich in potassium and magnesium and are a source of many vitamins, such as riboflavin, vitamins B6, A, C, and K, and folic acid.
Mangoes grown in the tropics and carrots grown in Finnish fields have a lot in common. Both are rich in beta-carotene, which is a powerful antioxidant. Thanks to beta-carotene, these delicacies are also orange or yellow in color.
