Nutrition Facts
Did you know there are more than 1000 different varieties of mangos grown around the world? One cup of mango, roughly one small fruit, gives you 100% of the vitamin C you need in a day. Vitamin C protects against infection and is needed to create collagen, a protein that gives skin, bones and muscle their structure. Vitamin C also helps your body absorb iron.
One cup of mango also provides almost half of your daily requirements of beta-carotene, an antioxidant and precursor to vitamin A. Beta-carotene helps protect the body against infection and illness. It can also help prevent signs of aging, as it helps repair skin cells and other tissues in the body.
Limes contain a group of plant chemicals called limonoids. In animal and cell studies, limonoids have been shown to fight mouth, lung, stomach, colon and breast cancers.
