S

ummer has come early, with

new-season Calypso Mangoes

now in stores. With smaller

seeds than other varieties, there’s

more fl esh to enjoy. They’re also less

fi brous and won’t stick in your teeth!

MANGO MAYHEM

Naturally nutritious

A small Calypso Mango is a perfectly

portioned snack with 3.5g of fibre,

plus a low glycaemic index to keep

you energised. This blush-coloured

fruit is also rich in beta-carotene,

which helps to protect your eyes

and skin from UV light.

Perfect pick

Use your senses of sight, smell and

feel to unlock mango magic. Look

for brightly coloured skin, sniff for a

fragrant, tropical aroma and squeeze

gently to select a smooth, tight fruit.

Prime condition

Once ripe, mangoes last for three

days in the crisper of your fridge.

If there’s any ever leftover (hard to

believe!), you can freeze them in

an airtight container to enjoy later!
