About Mango jelly

Mango jelly is a sweet fruit preserve made from ripe mangos, sugar, and a gelling agent such as pectin or gelatin. It is popular in tropical cuisines and desserts, particularly in Southeast Asia and South America. Mangos, the base ingredient, are a nutrient-dense fruit rich in natural sugars, fiber, and antioxidants. Mango jelly retains some of these nutrients, particularly its vitamin C content and small amounts of beta-carotene, though added sugars can elevate calorie levels. The sweet and fruity flavor profile pairs well with breads, pastries, or as a topping for desserts.

Health Benefits

• Rich in vitamin C, which supports immune function and skin health (mangos contain about 36.4 mg of vitamin C per 100 g).
• Contains dietary fiber, which aids digestion and promotes gut health (approximately 1.6 g per 100 g of fresh mango).
• Provides beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, which supports healthy vision and immune function.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gelatin (if used), added sugar (may impact individuals with sensitivities to high sugar intake)

Suitable for: Vegetarian (if no gelatin used), gluten-free diets

Not suitable for: Vegan (if made with gelatin), low-sugar or ketogenic diets

Selection and Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For longer preservation, can the jelly in sterilized jars and store in a cool, dark place.

Common Questions About Mango jelly Nutrition

What is the nutritional content of mango jelly?

Mango jelly typically contains about 40-50 calories per tablespoon, with very little to no protein (<1g) and negligible fat. It is primarily composed of carbohydrates, with around 9-12g of sugar per tablespoon. It may contain small amounts of vitamin C and other nutrients if made with real mango puree.

Is mango jelly suitable for a low-carb or keto diet?

Mango jelly is generally not suitable for a low-carb or keto diet due to its high sugar content, derived either from mangoes or added sweeteners. One tablespoon usually contains 9-12g of carbohydrates, most of which come from sugar, making it incompatible with the macronutrient limits of these diets.

Are there any health benefits or concerns with mango jelly?

While mango jelly may be a quick source of energy due to its carbohydrate content, it is often high in added sugars, which can contribute to blood sugar spikes if consumed in excess. If made with real mango, it might contain small amounts of antioxidants and vitamin C. However, processed versions usually lack significant nutrients.

How much mango jelly should I eat in one serving?

A single serving of mango jelly is typically 1-2 tablespoons, which equates to about 40-100 calories. Consuming mango jelly in moderation is advisable, as its high sugar content can add up quickly when paired with other sweet foods.

How does mango jelly compare to fresh mango or other fruit jellies?

Mango jelly is much higher in sugar and lower in fiber and vitamins compared to fresh mango. While fresh mango provides fiber, vitamin A, and C, jelly only offers flavor with minimal nutrients. Compared to other fruit jellies, mango jelly’s sugar content is comparable, though the flavor is distinct and tropical.
