Yellow mangos are in season! It’s the perfect time to take advantage of the flavor and all the amazing health benefits of this tropical favorite. Mangos have been found to protect against a variety of cancers, including breast and colon. They are rich in Vitamins A, B, C, copper, and potassium. Additionally, certain enzymes in mangos help to keep your digestive system in check.
Mango salsa is a perfect way to get mangos into your life in a variety of ways: on wild-caught fish, heritage pork, grass-fed beef, or as a snack with organic quinoa tortilla chips.
