Protein rank and density: mango

Every 100 kcal of mango brings 1.4 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 33rd of the 71 fruits in this database and 742nd of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 0.82 g per 100 g ranks 39th in its group.

Only about 5% of the calories in mango come from protein, so it is more of an energy food than a protein food. It is worth eating for other reasons; the protein it adds to a day is incidental.

USDA lists 0.38 g of fat per 100 g of mango, too little for a protein-to-fat ratio to mean much.

Set against plantain, another fruit entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.5 g less protein (plantain has 1.9 g per 1 cup sliced raw).

It is an incomplete protein on its own; pairing it with other plant foods across the day covers the full range of essential amino acids. The serving quoted here is measured by volume at 165 g, and it covers about 3% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.

Quick answers

Mango protein questions

How much protein is in 100 g of mango?

0.82 g. The 1 cup pieces serving used on this page weighs 165 g and so carries 1.4 g.

How much protein do you get per 100 calories of mango?

1.4 g. That figure divides its 0.82 g of protein per 100 g by its 60 kcal per 100 g, so it does not depend on serving size.

Is the protein in mango complete?

No. On its own, the protein in mango is short of at least one essential amino acid; other protein sources across the day fill the gap.

What share of the protein Daily Value is one serving of mango?

About 3%. One 1 cup pieces serving has 1.4 g, and the FDA Daily Value for protein is 50 g.
