Cebu Mango 

The mangoes of Cebu are among the best in the world. It is loved by both locals and foreigners. These fruits wee even served to Miss Universe candidates when they visited this little island in the middle of the archipelago. The most famous mango-based product is the dried mangoes. They have found their way to different parts of the country. Some companies also export these products to different countries around the world. In addition to the dried mangoes, Cebu also produces mango juices, chocolate-covered dried mangoes, and mango puree, among others. The seed of the mango can also be processed into mango flour. The mango flour is rich in fiber, anti-oxidants, calcium, protein, and magnesium.
