A true comfort food… Mangos are revered not only for their exotic sweetness and juicy quality, they are also known for their many health blessings. They contain an enzyme similar to papain in papayas, a soothing digestive aid. Mangos also contain a lot of tryptophan, the precursor of the”happiness-hormone” serotonin. These comforting enzymes can be held mostly responsible for that feeling of contentment we experience during and after our daily mango enjoyment. These proteolytic enzymes that break down proteins are effective meat tenderizers (Check out my recipe!) regularly used in tropical countries where mangos are grown. The enzyme list continues with magneferin, catechol oxidase, and lactase that not only protect the mango from insects, but it can help us by stimulating metabolism and purifying the intestinal tract.

I so need an icecream maker – and really ripe mangoes!! Thanks for sharing this with us at the Hearth and Soul Hop. (when you get a chance could you please link it back to the hop? thanks)
Sounds delicious! I love how easy it is to make!
soooo yummy! definitely a winner 🙂
yummmm. My latest discovery [much less healthy but so delish] : equal parts of lemon curd and cream; into the ice cream maker and churn till frozen. See you in a few weeks : )
