Mango Turmeric Ginger Fruit Spread

This Mango Turmeric Ginger Fruit Spread is so much better than store bought spreads. Bright, sweet mango flavor paired with the unmistakable zest of fresh turmeric and ginger make this fruit spread a tasty topping for toast or oatmeal. You can even use it as a food for baby!

This fruit spread is very simple to put together, all you really need are mangos and if you like fresh turmeric and/or ginger. We like it best with a little of each spice.

The turmeric and ginger are not overpowering at all and just add a slight earthiness and a tiny bit of zest. The flavors go together so well, but you can definitely omit them if your little ones are unfamiliar with spices or picky eaters.

Ingredients

Turmeric has been having a moment. Just do a search on Pinterest and you'll see pin after pin for golden milks and teas, gummies, crackers, soups, and even ice cream. So why all the hubbub? In short, turmeric is pretty awesome. Besides adding color and flavor to food there's a whole list of health benefits including fighting inflammation, increasing brain function, and possibly helping skin conditions.

Mangoes are pretty spectacular in their own right too. The nickname "the king of fruits" has to mean something, right? Besides the amazing taste, mangoes are a great source of fiber which helps with digestion. There's also lots of good for you nutrients like vitamin A and C, vitamin B6, and minerals including potassium, magnesium, and copper. All of this good stuff may improve heart and eye health, brain function, and improve skin- a major bonus for me right now.

Tasty and healthy, you can't go wrong!

Tip
