About Mangu
Mangu is a traditional Dominican dish made from boiled and mashed green plantains, often seasoned with salt and a drizzle of olive oil or butter. This staple of Dominican cuisine is typically served as part of a hearty breakfast accompanied by red onions, fried cheese, salami, and eggs, forming a dish known as "Los Tres Golpes." Plantains are rich in complex carbohydrates, providing a good source of energy, and contain dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, and potassium, which supports heart health and muscle function. However, toppings like fried cheese and salami can elevate the dish’s saturated fat and sodium levels, which may be less ideal for heart health if consumed frequently. Mangu, on its own or with healthier accompaniments, can be a nutritious and delicious way to celebrate Dominican culinary traditions.
