Air mango is fully ripening on a tree, under the tropical sun, and thanks to air transport he avoids many weeks of sea travels and storage in cold stores that could weaken its qualities. Usually, within 24-48 hours of the collection, it is expressly prepared for shipping to reach the recipients as soon as possible. The result is an intense, sweet taste, velvety creamy consistency and freshness, which is vain to look for in fruits available in supermarkets. The fruit has an oblong or oval shape, measures from 5 to 20 centimeters, and its flexible, dark red skin with a blush and wax coating reveals a subtle floral aroma.
In Poland, aviation mango can be purchased at online stores and at specialized sales outlets offering premium products. The price of one piece ranges from 30 to 40 PLN. Each copy is thoroughly checked before shipping, packed in a protective foam and delivered directly to the recipient to keep the full aroma and juiciness, which make every bite a small journey to the tropics.
Ordinary mango fruit, available in supermarkets, are transported by sea. They are still green. Later They go to the cold store on ships, where sometimes even for a month, they mature in controlled conditions using gases, including ethylene. In terms of logistics, this is a practical procedure, but unfortunately it reflects on quality: the taste becomes less expressive, and the pulp can be fibrous and less juicy, which reduces both the culinary experience and the content of nutrients.
In the case of aviation mango, air transport reduces the time from harvesting to only a few days. Fruits remain on the tree until optimal maturity is reached. They ripen naturally, absorbing the sun and nutrients straight from nature. As a result, the air parenchyma is velvety creamy, almost completely devoid of bothersome fibers. The taste captivates with intense sweetness, broken with a subtle, exotic note, characteristic of the best mango varieties, such as Alphonso, Caviar Whether Carabaooften chosen for this type of transport.
Aerial mango draws its power straight from nature, and scientists are more and more willing to look under his golden skin to confirm its advantages. Research published in “The Faseb Journal” in 2018 confirmed that Regular mango eating can improve the functioning of blood vessels and reduce blood pressure. The effects appear just after a few hours of consumption. Experts from American Society for Nutrition go a step further, emphasizing that ripening fruits naturally accumulate more valuable nutrients.
In the juicy mango flesh we will find vitamin Awhich cares about sight and skin and vitamin Csupporting the production of collagen – building building blocks and connective tissue. It also offers a large dose vitamin E and B vitaminsthat add energy and support the nervous system. There is also a potassium that helps to keep blood pressure. However, this is not all because Mango also hides mangiferine. Studies from “Molecular Nutrition and Food Research” show that this compound has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, protecting the cardiovascular system against oxidative stress and soothing inflammation.
There is also soluble fiber in the aviation mango, which works like a delicate regulator and insoluble, adding volume and supporting intestinal movements. During the annual meetings of the American Society for Nutrition in Boston, scientists presented the results that even surprised skeptics: Mango turned out to be more effective in the fight against constipation than some preparations from the pharmacy. All thanks to the harmonious duo of fiber and bioactive compounds that improve peristalsis and support healthy bacterial flora in the intestines.
Aerial mango tastes best in raw, fully mature. Just peel the fruit, cut into slices or cubes and enjoy the natural taste. You can add them to salads, but it goes well too with yogurt and nuts. Works as a base for refreshing cocktails with the addition of honey or lemon juiceand even as an ingredient in exotic sauces for Asian dishes.
