Mango

ITI, Inc., TheTropicalSource.comity of mango has increased dramatically in the past few years as consumers search for new and different healthy taste sensations and food manufacturers attempt to satisfy these needs. There are many varieties of mango grown all around the world. Most are consumed as fresh fruit but we have seen a great increase in popularity of mango used in processed foods.

Varieties of mango have a broad range of colors, flavors, origins, and seasons. They are all relatively high in potassium, Beta-carotene and vitamin C and low in fat and sodium. Flavor profiles of mango vary but all are sweet to slightly acidic and fruity. Mango blends well with other fruits and mango is an increasingly popular ingredient in beverages, yogurts, ice creams, baking, and specialty sauces. At any one time, ITI may carry as many as five to ten different varieties of mango in purees, concentrates, and individually frozen cubes.
