What’s in Season? Mango
Known also as the ‘King of Fruit’ originating in tropical areas such as India and Sri Lanka, Mangos are not only delicious and vibrant but they are a good source of folate, Vitamin A & C, a source of dietary fibre, Vitamin B6 & A and contain potassium. So, it’s no wonder they’re known as the King of Fruit!
