Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Sugar Content Of Mangoes?

Because the flavor of mangoes is so strong and potent, a common question we will often ask ourselves is if or how much sugar they contain.

A ¾ cup of mangoes contains 17 grams of total sugars which is where they get most of their sweetness from.

This sugar is natural (fructose) however and is very different to the added sugars which we are more familiar with in fizzy beverages and snacks.

Mangoes in contrast are incredibly nutrient-dense meaning that not only are these natural sugars healthy to incorporate into a diet, but mangoes possess so many nutritional benefits that they are always worth eating or making into a recipe to stay healthy. 

Summary

Of course just like any fruit, you can enjoy a mango on its own as a nice, light and refreshing snack, but why not make a dish that really makes use of the sweet flavor and is far more memorable?

Try out some of these recipes to find the one that really catches your eye and that you know would be a go to meal down the line for when you want to make use of some delicious mangoes.
