A Mango Masterpiece
Mangoes contain fiber, potassium, folate, vitamin C, vitamin A, beta-carotene, and choline. Since we have not talked about choline yet in our blog, we want to explain why this nutrient is important for us. Choline is crucial for liver, muscle, and brain functions, as well as for lipid metabolism and repairing cellular membranes. While the body can produce some choline, most people need to get it from their diet to avoid deficiency.
Toppings: More Than Just a Pretty Garnish
The awesomeness doesn’t end with the base. We’ve handpicked the toppings not just for flavor, but for their health perks too. Kiwifruit are known for its exceptionally high vitamin C content. In Italy, they call this fruit the “frutto della salute,” which translates to “fruit of health.”
Pomegranate is packed with dietary fiber and essential nutrients like vitamins C, A, and folic acid, as well as minerals like potassium. It’s also loaded with phenolic compounds, alkaloids, triterpenes, and sterols. Pomegranates are especially rich in unsaturated fatty acids, such as omega 5 punicic acid, which makes up about 70% of pomegranate seed oil. These compounds offer various health benefits, making pomegranate a potential functional food.
