Meanwhile, raw mangoes contain more Vitamin C than the sweet ripe mangoes and work wonders for all your tummy troubles. Vitamin C helps in the absorption of iron and hence, raw mangoes are recommended to people suffering from anaemia. Raw mangoes also contain pectin, found in other fruits like apples and berries, which makes it good for your heart.
