They are also rich in vitamin A and have good amounts of vitamins B and C as well as Potassium, Calcium and Iron.It has been found that the phenols and several enzymes in mangoes have healing as well as anti-cancer properties."The phenols in mango and enzymes besides promoting healthy skin and hair, help in diabetes control and improve overall immunity.
