The Goodness of Mangos:<\/span><\/b>
Mangos are loaded with Vitamin A and they contain a higher level of carotenoids than almost any other fruit. These carotenoids are said to reduce the risk of cancer as well as heart disease. Carotenoids are also thought to be successful in warding off the common cold.<\/p>\n

Mangoes are low in fat, low in calories but very high in fiber! You will also find lots of Vitamins C and B in Mangoes as well as iron, potassium and protein.<\/p>\n

Does Mango Need to be Cooked for Baby?<\/span><\/b>
When introducing mango to baby, you should not need to cook (steam) it if it is ripe and soft. If your baby is younger than 8 months old when you decide to introduce mango, you may wish to steam it gently to help break it down!<\/p>\n
