Description

Mango sauce is a delicious and versatile preparation made from ripe mango, ideal for adding a sweet and fresh touch to a wide variety of dishes, from meats and fish to salads and appetizers. This sauce combines the tropical and juicy flavor of mango with ingredients such as onion, chili, lime, and spices, creating a perfect balance between sweet, sour, and spicy.

The mango is a fruit native to South Asia, specifically the region that today corresponds to India and Myanmar, and has spread widely throughout Latin America thanks to its adaptation to tropical climates. In Hispanic American cuisine, mango sauce is especially popular in countries like Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela, where it is frequently used to accompany coastal dishes and creole food.

Regarding its properties, mango sauce is rich in vitamins A and C, natural antioxidants that help strengthen the immune system and improve skin health. Furthermore, mango provides fibers that contribute to good digestion and a moderate energy intake.

In different regions of Hispanic America, mango sauce may also be known as mango in sauce or spicy mango jam, depending on the texture and the level of seasonings used.
