FRESH MANGO PUREE / PURE TROPICAL TASTE / MADE IN VIETNAM

Product Description

Mango puree is a concentrated form of mango fruit, capturing its rich tropical flavor, creamy texture, and vibrant color in a smooth, versatile puree. Made from the pulp of ripe mangoes, mango puree preserves the essence of fresh mangoes, offering a convenient way to enjoy this tropical fruit in various culinary applications. 

The process of making mango puree starts with selecting ripe, high-quality mangoes. Different mango varieties, such as Ataulfo, Kent, or Alphonso, can influence the flavor, texture, and sweetness of the puree. Ripe mangoes are harvested at their peak for optimal flavor and aroma, as the fruits natural sugars and juicy texture are best when fully mature.

Once harvested, mangoes are cleaned thoroughly to remove any dirt, pesticides, or residues. The mangoes are then peeled and pitted, as the skin and seeds are removed to ensure a smooth texture. The flesh is then pureed into a smooth consistency, with or without additional ingredients. Purees that are marketed as natural or **0% mango typically contain no additives, making them an ideal choice for health-conscious consumers.

The puree undergoes a pasteurization process to ensure safety and a longer shelf life. This step is essential to prevent microbial growth while preserving the color and taste. Once pasteurized, the mango puree is cooled, packed, and sealed in air-tight containers or pouches. This process helps lock in the freshness and tropical flavor of the mango, ensuring it remains flavorful until it reaches the consumer.
 

Mango puree is highly versatile, with numerous applications across various cuisines. In desserts, mango puree can be used as a topping for ice cream, pancakes, and waffles, adding a refreshing, fruity layer to these treats. It is also popular in making mango-flavored yogurts, puddings, and fruit-based tarts. When combined with cream, sugar, or gelatin, it can transform into delicious mousse, panna cotta, or cheesecake.

For beverages, mango puree is a key ingredient in smoothies, cocktails, and mocktails. The natural sweetness of mango puree eliminates the need for added sugars, making it a healthier choice for drinks. In tropical cocktails like mango margaritas or pia coladas, it blends seamlessly with other flavors, creating a refreshing, fruity profile. Mango puree is also ideal for non-alcoholic beverages, like mango lassis or lemonade, where it adds both color and flavor.

In savory dishes, mango puree pairs wonderfully with meats, seafood, and salads. It can be used to make marinades, dressings, or glazes that add a tangy-sweet element to dishes. For instance, mango puree works well as a base for spicy sauces that accompany seafood, chicken, or grilled vegetables. This puree can be blended with spices, herbs, and lime juice to create a refreshing salsa, adding a tropical twist to appetizers.
 

Mango puree is not only delicious but also nutritious, providing several essential vitamins and minerals. Rich in vitamin C, mango puree is excellent for supporting the immune system and maintaining healthy skin. Vitamin C also acts as a powerful antioxidant, helping to fight free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.

Mango puree is a good source of vitamin A, which is crucial for eye health, immune function, and skin health. The natural beta-carotene in mangoes, which gives the fruit its bright yellow-orange color, converts into vitamin A in the body. This makes mango puree an ideal choice for those looking to support their vision and overall health.

The popularity of mango puree transcends borders. In Indian cuisine, mango puree is often used to make mango lassi, a refreshing yogurt-based drink that is both creamy and satisfying. In the Caribbean, mango puree is a key ingredient in tropical sauces and glazes, adding a fruity contrast to spicy and savory dishes. In Latin American cuisine, it is used in smoothies and desserts, where its natural sweetness is celebrated.

Mango puree also finds a place in Western culinary practices, especially as a base for desserts like sorbets, custards, and fruit pies. With its vibrant color and creamy consistency, mango puree appeals to chefs and home cooks alike, adding a tropical twist to various recipes.
