What is Mango?
Mango is a tropical stone fruit that is beloved for its sweet taste and juicy flesh. It comes in various varieties, with skin colors ranging from green to yellow to red. The flesh inside is typically orange and contains a large, flat seed. Mango is rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C and vitamin A, and provides dietary fiber. However, due to its high fructose content, mango is classified as high FODMAP when consumed in typical serving sizes.
