ORLANDO, FL - Who’s ready for Cinco de Mayo? I know the National Mango Board (NMB) is busy prepping the category for nationwide promotions in the lead-up to the holiday. Perhaps most notably, the organization is celebrating peak season with its Cinco de Mango campaign, encouraging consumers to add fresh mango to their dishes to combine rich culture with beloved flavors.

“As we reach the height of the season, we’re hoping to inspire our consumers to find unique ways to incorporate mango into their Cinco de Mayo celebrations and beyond,” said Director of Marketing Dan Spellman. “Our Cinco de Mango campaign is a fun and flavorful opportunity to create buzz around one of summertime’s favorite superfruit, while also educating fans on its health benefits.”

According to a press release, mango is bursting with more than 20 vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, offering a host of health benefits. Known for its versatility, mango pairs perfectly with bold and spicy flavors, making it an ideal addition to any Cinco de Mayo cuisine. Whether enjoyed fresh with Tajín, muddled into a refreshing cocktail like a mango-prickly pear margarita, chopped into zesty salsas, or grilled to perfection for mango tacos, this fruit provides a nutritious enhancement to culinary creations.

To motivate consumers to make mango a centerpiece of their Cinco de Mayo celebrations, the National Mango Board has curated a collection of mouthwatering recipes and festive serving ideas on mango.org. Whether they’re hosting a fiesta with friends or enjoying a quiet meal at home, the National Mango Board encourages consumers to add mango for a touch of tropical flair and irresistible flavor.

Now let’s party!
