About Mango chutney
Mango chutney is a condiment originating in Indian cuisine, often made from ripe mangoes combined with spices like ginger, chili, and turmeric, as well as sugar and vinegar. It is a sweet, tangy, and mildly spicy accompaniment to a variety of dishes, such as curries and rice. Mangoes, as the main ingredient, are rich in essential nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin A, and dietary fiber. The additional spices and vinegar lend their unique health properties, making mango chutney a flavorful and nutrient-packed addition to meals. While the added sugar increases calorie content, small portions provide valuable antioxidants from mangoes and spices. Mango chutney is popular in global cuisines, especially in South Asian and British fare, for its ability to balance savory and spicy flavors.
