    Is mango nectar healthy?

    It is a healthy drink rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It is a great vitamin C, vitamin A, and potassium source. However, it is also high in sugar, so it should be consumed in moderation.

    Can I use canned mangoes to make mango nectar?

    Yes, you can use canned mangoes, but fresh mangoes are recommended for the best flavor and texture. Make sure to use unsweetened canned mangoes and adjust the sugar accordingly.

    Storage Suggestions

    Mango nectar will last in the refrigerator for 3-4 days in an airtight container.

    You can freeze it for 3-4 months. Thaw and serve.
