ORLANDO, FL - The path to becoming a mango expert has become even smoother as a result of the National Mango Board’s (NMB) efforts to support category growth. Through its unique, dual-track education program, Mango University, the organization supports industry members and chefs in their pursuit of category expertise.
“The Mango University program is about more than just education—it’s about supporting chefs in their culinary journey and ultimately providing a competitive advantage for anyone in the industry looking to capitalize on the growing demand for mangos,” shared Ramon Ojeda, NMB Executive Director. “Mangos are a remarkably versatile and nutritious superfruit, and the new program will offer in-depth, accessible, and mango-specific learning resources to help established and up-and-coming foodservice chefs maximize their delicious flavor.”
