Rujuta said, “This video is your yearly reminder that it is summer and you should be eating mango. It does not cause diabetes and obesity; it does not even cause skin breakouts. Soak your mango for half an hour, and then have your mango. Mango is delicious. It is full of sweetness, pulp, fibre, antioxidants, polyphenols – all the stuff that you are really looking for in different wellness products is in this natural fruit.”
She continued, “In a world which has lost the art of pining and romance, there is one thing that we still wait for – we wait for the mango season, we wait for the mango to naturally ripen. We wait for the mango, and cut it open and have its delicious taste, juice and flavour. Don’t deprive yourself of that because a mango a day keeps sadness at bay. We all need that.”
