I just read an article about the nutrition of green mango.
According to a recent research, green (unripe) mango of Langra variety, weighing 300 gms (approx), yields as much vitamin C as 35 apples or 18 bananas or nine lemons or three oranges or a pineapple weighing one kg.
Sounds amazing? (But I dislike it sour taste!!)
Gastro-intestinal disorders: Eating one or two tender mangoes, in which the seed is not fully formed, along with salt and honey is a very effective medicine for diarrhoea, dysentery, piles, morning sickness, chronic dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation, etc.
Bilious disorders: The acids in the green mango increase the secretion of bile and act as an intestinal antiseptic. Therefore, eating green mango daily with honey and pepper cures biliousness, urticaria, jaundice etc and purifies blood. It tones up the liver too and keeps it healthy. In off season, sun-dried slices of green mango (amchur) can be used as the substitute for fresh mango.
Blood disorders: The curative value is attributed to its vitamin C content. It increases the elasticity of the blood vessels, helps formation of new blood cells, aids absorption of iron, prevents bleeding tendencies and cures scurvy. Eating an unripe mango daily during the summer season prevents one from infections, increases body resistance against tuberculosis, cholera, dysentery, anaemia etc. It tones up the heart, nerves and cures palpitation of the heart, nervous tension, insomnia and weakness of the memory.
Not more than one mango should be consumed daily and cold water should never be consumed immediately after eating the green fruit, because it coagulates the sap and makes it more irritant.
