UNITED STATES - Who knew mangos could be scary-good! In the spirit of spooky season, the National Mango Board is showing the industry how mangos can be incorporated into the fright fun.
Three-fourths of a cup of mango provides 50 percent of the daily recommended vitamin C, 8 percent of daily vitamin A, and 8 percent of daily vitamin B6—a far cry from the typical sweets associated with Halloween while still offering plenty of flavor.
Scary faces, spooky spiders, and—of course—delicious mangos. If it’s a monster mash, then this is one recommendation that will make sure your shoppers have that graveyard smash.
Speaking of smashes and mashes, this offers quite the twist on both Halloween offerings and guacamole, keeping consumers highly focused on the fresh produce department with a toothy-grinned pepper to serve the treat up in. Honestly, who wouldn’t want to grab these ingredients to craft these cuties?
Layers of mango nectar-soaked sponge cake, fresh homemade mango custard, fresh mango, and whipped cream. Need I say more?
We are all suckers for googly-eyed goodies, making the marshmallows with this mango pudding extra kid-friendly, with chocolate cookies sure to please “boys and ghouls” alike. I admit, this departs from the healthy approach a bit, but is still a better option than the candy aisle. And who says you can’t find a little indulgence in the produce aisle?
As we continue to explore ways to bring consumers to the produce aisle for every eating occasion, keep an eye on AndNowUKnow for more.
