About the National Mango Board
The National Mango Board is an agriculture promotion group supported by assessments from both domestic and imported mangos.

One cup of the superfruit mango contains 100 calories, 100% of daily vitamin C, 35% of daily vitamin A, 12% of daily fiber, and an amazing source of tropical flavor. Learn more at mango.org.
