MANGO-LECINQBLOG'S HEALTHY SNACKS SERIES-NUTRITION INFORMATION

I am CURRENTLY a PRACTICING PHYSICIAN .However, I did complete TWO YEARS of college studying GENERAL BIOCHEMISTRY AND MICROBIOLOGY, Food technology,Food Microbiology and Biochemistry prior to deciding that I am more inclined to the CLINICAL SIDE of things and hence decided to get into MEDICAL SCIENCE .I did very well in medical school thereafter and am now a "kick-ass" doctor .My interest in "Food" and the "Science of cooking" continues to this day and explains why I now have a Food blog as part of my LECINQBLOG family.I seek to dispel FOOD FADS, food myths via this food blog.I seek also to increase health awareness by canvassing for healthier diets.

Fruits in a bowl are one of my favorite snacks.Infact,these fruit bowls are my favorite "after dinner" dessert.NOT TOO SWEET and sugary(duh! Just before sleeping,AND sugary sweets?) AND fruits are just right in the sweetness factor nevertheless.

Once you get used this kinda dessert all other refined flour treats look and taste too CLOYING.Way back in 2003, I would eat cake after each meal, like my life depended on it.At some point in 2006,I shifted to eating fruit as dessert and then in 2008 I tried going back to cake,but then cake tasted TOO SWEET to me this time around...aaaaah...the MOMENT OF ZEN BALACE was achieved WHERE my body would automatically NOT like what was not good for me.

The picture above is from 2007.It is a mango.A semi ripe one.I couldn't wait for it to ripen further.

I kinda remember that night too,when I ATE IT.I had vacated my previous apartment for good and shifted into this new apartment.It was too silent, too silent night that night.I sat there in my apartment, looking out the window.Lights as far as I COULD SEE..slightly depressing.L(( .New place, and I WAS ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE with the old apartment..awww.changes are challenging,no?

I often see people peeling off the skin of the fruits they eat.I HAVE TO INSIST here that most fruit peels are edible, tasty,crunchy and very full of vitamins,fiber and minerals.

All peels are edible unless the fruit is the jackfruit or durian or pineapple or some such fruits.

For Apple,kiwi,peach, apricot ,grapes,yada yad, just eat the peel already..come on.eat it!!

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE MANGO

Mango is a tropical fruit.VERY FLESHY and so, very filling.

Full of fruit sugars-so very energy giving

IT IS YELLOW.Golden rule in food is, IF THE FOOD IS COLORED IN shades of orange or yellow, IT IS CAROTENE rich or vit A rich..good for you.

mango is full of fiber too

mango is full of water soluble vitamins too.

WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT? nothing..just go get some mango and eat some already! get up, go buy some.

As if I CANNOT reiterate enough, I LOVE AFTERNOON SNACK TIME...

For me, AFTERNOONS are the best time to lounge around and eat a nice snack with some coffee or tea!

In the above picture you can see SCISSORS.If you look closely, you can also see a metal wire.I was making a wire basket of sorts,and then , sudden hunger pangs struck my tummy.AFTERNOON SNACK TIME!

I just took out some frozen shoelace fries and put some cheese on them, and microwaved them.Then brewed some french coffee, added soy milk, sugar..soy cafe latte ready!Took me 20 minutes to set up the snack.Then I TOOK A PICTURE, much like what all foodbloggers do.

Then I GOBBLED IT ALL UP!

Here in the picture you see, beautiful dark brown toasted millet bread slices.I used PEARL MILLET.I actually used millet flour with very very little amount of whole wheat flour for binding purpose ,yeasted it just like I WOULD do with a normal bread dough and made the whole loaf.Then I sliced it and then toasted the slices on a grill till they went super crunchy crisp.

I forayed into BAKING MY OWN BREAD IN 2009 and I definitely wanted to try my hand at millets coz they are so rich in calcium and we all need calcium don't we?

The millet bread had a very NUTTY RICH taste...very very saliva secreting..truly TASTY...I could eat the toasted slices ON THEIR OWN...coz they were so tasty..They are so pretty LOOKING too...no?
