How Sweet It Is

With 61 percent of the vitamin C and 55 percent of the vitamin A you need daily as well as three grams of fiber per cup, mango is a superfruit. To find a ripe one, pick up the fruit and lightly squeeze its middle; if it gives a little, the mango is ready to be eaten, says Allison Beadle, RD, a dietitian in Austin, Texas. At home, "stand the fruit on its end, slice off the two meaty sections on either side of the pit, score the halves with a knife, and then scoop."
