Green mangoes are often used in salads or for people who enjoy sour flavors. Ripe mangoes are rich in sugar and have a sweet taste. In terms of nutritional value, both green and ripe mangoes are rich in nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, and the powerful antioxidant carotenoid, but green mangoes have less sugar than ripe mangoes and therefore fewer calories. However, green mangoes are more sour and contain more allergens, so the two types of mangoes have different flavors depending on individual preferences.
Benefits of green mangoes:
Low in calories, high in fiber:
Green mangoes are high in fiber but have not yet ripened, so they have not undergone the process of converting sugar, which is why green mangoes are more sour, less sweet, and lower in calories than ripe mangoes. Therefore, eating green mangoes helps balance and control blood sugar levels. This is especially beneficial for people with metabolic diseases such as diabetes.
