How often do you wonder “How much mango can be eaten per day?”

We at Nuturally have the answer!

The standard portion of dried mango amounts to 40g per day.

This was reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, which looked at the beneficial effects of eating 40g of dried fruit a day over the past 30 years. The researchers examined the results of a large sample of people who habitually consumed dehydrated fruit, and found that those who consumed the right portions of dried fruit at least seven times a week had a 20% reduction in their risk of developing diseases.

How much mango should you eat if you don’t have a scale at hand?

Of course, it should be borne in mind that each person has their own specific nutritional needs depending on their constitution, age, gender, level of physical activity, etc. and, for this reason, the portions of food vary according to individual needs.
