Raw mangoes are a powerhouse of nutrients, offering a variety of health benefits. Rich in antioxidants, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, polyphenols, vitamins, minerals, and fiber, raw mangoes can help improve vision and eye health, reduce inflammation and the risk of cancer, promote collagen synthesis and improve skin health. Eating raw mangoes in moderate amounts is beneficial for most adults, but eating too many can cause indigestion, abdominal pain, dysentery, and throat irritation. Just one cup (165 grams) of fresh mango provides nearly 67% of the daily value of vitamin C.

The benefits of vitamin C, A and the essential nutrients in raw mango activate the immune system, improve vision, keep skin and hair healthy and reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Raw mangoes with minimal amounts of calories and sugar help activate metabolism, keep you full and burn those extra fats.
