Nutritious Mangos: From the Menu to the Classroom
The National Mango Board (NMB) supports nutrition education and has developed an online portal, ManGO! Kids, to provide kids with fun, educational activities and resources to teach them about mangos and how to integrate them into a balanced diet. ManGO! Kids also provides educators with new, interactive tools for teaching students about nutrition through the world’s most popular fruit—the mango. With varieties arriving to the U.S. from the top six importing countries year-round, there is an opportunity for a non-stop mango experience at school or home.
