Questions about Mango nectar
What is the difference between mango nectar and mango juice?
Mango nectar is usually made with mango pulp or purée diluted with water; it may also contain added sugar. Mango juice is generally presented as juice rather than a diluted pulp drink, though names and recipes can differ between products.
How can you make mango nectar at home?
Blend ripe mango flesh with cold water until smooth, adding the water gradually until it pours easily. A squeeze of lime brightens the flavour; strain it if you want a thinner, smoother drink.
Should you dilute mango nectar before drinking it?
It is ready to drink, but you can stretch its sweet, dense flavour with chilled water or sparkling water. Start with equal parts nectar and water, then change the ratio to suit the drink you want.
How long does mango nectar keep once opened?
Keep it covered in the fridge and follow the storage instructions on its packaging; use it within the stated time after opening. Pour out what you need rather than drinking from the carton, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
What goes well with mango nectar?
Its sweet tropical flavour works with lime, ginger, mint and sparkling water. Use it in a mango lassi with yoghurt, or blend it with banana and yoghurt for a quick smoothie.
Can you use mango nectar in cooking?
Yes: simmer it with lime and chilli for a glaze for grilled chicken or prawns, or stir it into a fruit salad dressing. Reduce it gently in a small pan if you need a thicker glaze.
