Mango nectar

Mango nectar is a thick and sweet beverage made from the concentrated juice of the mango, a tropical fruit highly prized for its exotic flavor and unique aroma. Unlike natural juice, mango nectar usually contains a mixture of mango pulp, water, and sugar, which gives it a denser texture and a more intense flavor.

Origin: The mango is native to South Asia, specifically the region encompassing India and Myanmar, although today it is cultivated in many parts of the tropical and subtropical world, such as Latin America, Africa, and the Caribbean. Mango nectar is very popular in Latin American countries where mango is a local or very common fruit, such as Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, and Peru.

Properties: Mango nectar is a natural source of vitamins A and C, which help strengthen the immune system and improve skin health. It also contains antioxidants and minerals like potassium and magnesium. Although it is nutritious, it is important to consume it in moderation due to its added sugar content. In cooking, mango nectar is used to add a sweet and fruity touch to beverages, desserts, sauces, and marinades.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: Depending on the region, mango nectar may also be called jugo espeso de mango (thick mango juice), jugo concentrado de mango (concentrated mango juice), or simply néctar (nectar) when the fruit is specified. In some countries like Cuba and Puerto Rico, it is also known as miel de mango (mango honey), although this term can cause confusion with natural honey.
