The National Mango Board announces the release of a new tool to inspire menu innovation, Mango Flavor Pairing Guide.

The guide was developed to create excitement about fresh mango as a versatile ingredient, the key to innovation all across menus, all year round. The mango pairings showcase complementary and contrasting sensory combinations from familiar to surprising.

The mango is known for its glorious yellow-orange flesh that can taste sweet, tart, or slightly spicy with a texture that runs the gamut from crisp to lush. As today’s culinary teams explore exciting flavor combinations and innovative menu options, they’re finding more and better places for fresh mango.

In Green Mango and Grilled Steak Salad, Chef Ben Randolph, The Broadway Hotel, Columbia, Missouri, combines the tropical appeal of fresh mango, grilled beef, and Asian flavors to surprise and delight diners.
