Mango (Aam)
आम · మామిడి పండు
King of fruits in India. Despite being sweet, ripe mango has a medium GI. However, portion control is key due to high natural sugar.
Nutrition per Serving
Sugars shown are total sugars (naturally occurring + added) per serving and are approximate. For fruits and dairy this is mostly natural sugar; for sweets and many cooked dishes it reflects added sugar or jaggery.
Tips to Manage Blood Sugar
Eat as a fruit rather than mango juice/shake — the fiber in whole fruit slows sugar absorption. Limit to half a mango per serving for diabetics.
