Mango: verdict by goal
The details
Blood sugar: Sweet, high-GI, high glycemic load — a real glucose spike. Avoid on a blood-sugar reset; treat ripe mango as dessert.
How to choose: Slight give, fragrant.
How to use it: Fresh, sparingly; green (unripe) mango is lower-sugar.
How to store: Ripen on counter, then fridge.
Sensible portion: small portion, rare
