Dehydrated mango without sugar

Mango 

Mango comes from a plant native to Asia. To date, this fruit has spread to many tropical countries where it is possible to find it all year round. 

Its peel can be yellow, red or green. The flesh is, instead, yellow-orange and has a sweet taste. Its shape is oval and elongated, and it can weigh up to a kilogram.

The orange yellow color of the mango reminds us of the presence of beta-carotene precursor of vitamin A, essential to obtain a good tan (since it helps in the production of melanin) but also beneficial for vision.

With regard to what has just been said, we can say that the mango contains in itself several substances very beneficial to the human organism. This fruit has mineral salts such as potassium, phosphorus and calcium but also magnesium, copper, zinc and selenium.

The presence of potassium ensures a correct hydro-saline balance and a good regulation of blood pressure. Magnesium , on the other hand,  is fundamental for the well-being of the nervous system, for the construction of the skeleton and for the metabolism of fats. 

Mango also contains, to a lesser extent, vitamins such as those of group B, C, E, K. 

In particular, Vitamin C has a good antioxidant action, is useful to the immune system, is involved in the synthesis of collagen and is important for the assimilation of iron.

Vitamin E, on the other hand, is the most important antioxidant vitamin we have in our body. Its deficiency could cause muscle and neuronal problems. 

The presence in the mango of vitamin B, is useful for the proper functioning of all cells and mineral salts. This also leads to a strengthening of nails and hair at the same time. 

Another benefit of mango comes from the fact that this fruit is ideal in the treatment of anemia, in fact it contains abundant amounts of iron, thus helping to counteract various deficit pathologies. Therefore, regular and moderate consumption of mango is recommended to treat this pathology.

Compared to fresh fruit, dehydrated fruit loses water and concentrates fiber, sugars and minerals, thus becoming a nutritious, satiating and not excessively caloric snack. This type of fruit is ideal as a tasty snack.
