Mangos are an excellent source of Vitamins A and C as well as a good source of folic acid, calcium and vitamin E as compared to other fruits. Mangos contain an enzyme which acts as a digestive aid and contributes to a feeling of contentment. Mangos, like papayas, kiwis and pineapples, contain enzymes that are good for marinating and tenderizing meat. However, since these enzymes break down proteinrich products they have a tendency to liquify dairy products and prevent gelatine from setting. If used for these purposes, mangos should be cooked for a short time. Every part of the mango is beneficial and has been utilized in folk remedies in some form or another. Whether the bark, leaves, skin or pit; all have been concocted into various types of treatments or preventatives down through the centuries
