Mango Spears

The fragrant tropical aroma of mangoes evokes memories of warm summer, cloudless skies and days on the beach. At Lewis & Son, we keep the idyllic holiday dream alive with our sweet-smelling, slightly tangy mango spears. The maddeningly addictive dried fruit livens up traditional cabbage coleslaw with its tropical flavour. Mangoes pair well with coriander and chilli in savoury dishes. Mango chutney, barbequed chicken or grilled fish are serious winners. You can add mangoes to soups for tartness, or toss them into a quinoa salad. Mangoes impart tropical notes to a coconut and lime rice pudding, or a refreshing lassi. A special weekend treat should include buckwheat crêpes with mango and macadamia, or a mango ripple vanilla slice. The king of the fruits has various health benefits. Mango contains flavonoid compounds, which contribute to the fruit’s anti-cancer effect. It is rich in potassium, improving the nervous system. Mango is a blood purifier, and it helps produce red blood cells. The fruit relieves ‘travelers tummy’ symptoms. So when you finally get away for that long-awaited tropical holiday break, make sure to pack some Lewis & Son mango spears. Even though the season of the fruit is short-lived, this healthy and delicious snack will keep your plate full of sunshine all year round.
