Homemade mango puree is made using high-quality mangoes. There is no artificial color, flavor, preservative, or chemical added to it. Fresh mango pulp tastes much better than canned mango pulp.

Which Mangoes Are Best To Make Mango Puree

You need just one ingredient to make mango pulp recipe, fresh mangoes, so choose the best ones.

There are a variety of mangoes available all around the world but nothing can beat the taste of Indian or Mexican mangoes.

Choose the mangoes that are free of blemishes or dark spots.
