Unlike the oil-laden, preservative-heavy versions sold commercially, this version is prepared with sea salt, turmeric, and a carefully selected spice blend, with absolutely no oil, no synthetic vinegar, and no artificial preservatives. The result is a tangy, intensely flavoured pickle that retains the natural polyphenols of raw mango — particularly mangiferin and quercetin — in a low-calorie, functional format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"hl-box\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRaw vs Ripe Mango:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raw green mango is nutritionally distinct from ripe mango.
