Pulp from ripe mango
Description
The flesh of a ripe mango has an intense, sweet-tart flavor with a tropical note and a velvety, juicy texture; its color ranges from golden-yellow to deep orange, and the aroma is distinctly fruity and exotic. It is a source of vitamins A and C, B vitamins, potassium, and fiber, as well as antioxidants, which support immunity, skin and eye health, and digestion; it has a moderate amount of natural sugars and very little fat, making it a nutritious yet sweet addition to the diet. In the kitchen, mango flesh pairs well with desserts, smoothies, purees, and ice creams, as well as fresh salsas, chutneys, salads, marinades, and Asian dishes or curries, where it balances spicy and sour flavors. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2–3 days or frozen in cubes or puree for several months; unprocessed ripe fruits are best stored in a cool place and consumed as soon as possible to preserve flavor and nutritional value.
