HOW TO CUT A MANGO:
MANGOS YEAR-ROUND:
Mangos are available year-round making them a great item to promote every season.
Mangos are great for back-to-school promotions as a sweet treat for kid's lunches (Check out below how convenient Mary's Harvest makes mangos an easy grab-n-go treat and less hassle for busy parents!).
While mangos are typically displayed with other tropical fruit which might have you asking when was the last time you went to the beach, mangos are in fact a great cooking item to use during the cold winter months. We shared two mango chutney recipes below from mango.org that we thought might bring the tropics home to you!
Come Spring mangos are a great addition to salads and perfect for promoting during Cinco de Mayo. You can't beat the summer heat with a refreshing snack like mangos.
