MANGO & GREENS
Freshly cut, juicy, sweet and tangy: the mango is one of the most consumed tropical fruits in the world. From now on, you no longer need to cross the Atlantic to find them. In Spain, in the south of Andalusia, mango tree orchards as far as the eye can see grow on more than 5,000 hectares. This region benefits from a tropical climate. In one of these orchards, every day, hundreds of kilos of organic mangoes are picked. A mango tree can give 3000 kilos of fruit in the year... *
The advantage of organic mangoes from Spain is that, coming from near us by truck:
#1 its environmental footprint is far from the terrible cost of a fruit transported by plane from across the Atlantic
#2 its maturity cycle can be respected, unlike mangoes which come by boat from America
DO YOU EAT MANGO?
In this salad we have chopped an organic mango from Spain, which we have supplemented with celery, mint and a little fresh pollen.
The idea of mixing fruit and greenery is simple: maximize the intake of chlorophyll and minerals, as with green juices (we never eat as much greenery as mixed with fruit, try it, you'll see!) But no need to think. all this: try the mango/celery combination and let us know what you're up to!
As with other hive products, its composition varies. Here are the figures provided by ANSES for 100 g of pollen (average content):
Sugars: 26.8 g,
Protein: 17.5 g,
Dietary fiber: 9.07 g,
Lipids: 5.17 g.
Pollen contains 20 of the 27 amino acids essential to the body (arginine, histidine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, lysine, threonine, phenylalanine, tryptophan and valine). It is also rich in B vitamins (especially B9) and minerals and trace elements (mainly potassium, phosphorus and calcium).
As for the mango:
Rich in vitamin B9 (because 100 g of mango provides the equivalent of more than 30% of the NRV)
Rich in vitamin C (because 100 g of mango provides the equivalent of more than 30% of VNR)
Source of vitamin A (because 100 g of mango provides the equivalent of more than 15% of VNR)
Source of vitamin E (because 100 g of mango provides the equivalent of more than 15% of VNR)
Does not contain fat (because 100g of mango provides less than 0.50g of lipids)
