Chef Linkenheil developed recipes
to inspire others to think creatively when cooking with mangos. “Utilizing
different varieties of mangos as well as cooking with mangos at various stages
of ripeness allowed me to explore a wide array of mango applications with their
varied flavors, colors, and textures,” she says. “The beautiful floral aroma
and flavor of mangos pair well with many world flavors, and makes them a
versatile, delicious, and fun ingredient on your menu.”
“Our foodservice program success in using fresh mango on
menus rests in knowing the basics of how to order and handle this super fun
superfruit,” says Valda Coryat,
director of marketing at the National Mango Board. “In addition, the remarkable
versatility and nutrient density of fresh mango—the world’s most popular
fruit—across all dayparts, on food and beverage
menus, and in sweet and savory applications can bring a tremendous lift in menu
item sales.”
The video series was produced by the CIA’s Digital Media
team, which has won two James Beard Awards for Best Webcast. View the module at CIAprochef.com/mango.
