Learn How To Make Mango Pulp in just 5 minutes. Make a big batch and freeze it in summer when fresh, ripe mangoes are in season. Use it throughout the year to make your favorite mango recipes.
I am sharing three ways you can make it at home.
Why Make It At Home?
Although mango puree is easily available in stores, making it at home has many advantages.
The homemade mango puree recipe is made using high-quality mangoes. No artificial color, flavor, preservative, or chemical is added. Fresh pulp also tastes much better than canned pulp.
Making it at home is much more economical, too. Make sure to make it during mango season, when mangoes are at their best and cheap.
Which Mangoes Are Best To Make Mango Puree
You need just one ingredient to make a mango pulp recipe: fresh mangoes, so choose the best ones.
Various mangoes are available worldwide, but nothing can beat the taste of Indian or Mexican mangoes.
Choose mangoes that are less fibrous and very juicy.
Indian mangoes, such as Alphonso, Dussheri, or Kesar Mangoes, are my go-to varieties for making mango puree. During summer, you can find these in any Indian grocery store.
You can also use Mexican varieties like Ataulfo, Haden, or Kent.
Select ripe mangoes! They can be bright orange or green in color. To check if the mangoes are ripe, press the mango a little. If it feels soft, then they are ripe. Ripe mangoes will also smell fruity.
Choose mangoes that are free of blemishes or dark spots.
