How To Make Raw Mango Burmese Salad For A Quick Refreshing Meal

Raw mango is the best fruit of spring as its unique tangy flavour complements the weather perfectly. Most people who taste raw mangoes once, cannot stop eating them and end up trying new ways to incorporate this delicious fruit into their daily food. Raw mangoes are not as juicy as the ripe ones and are quite firm. However, this Kachi Kairi or also acknowledged as Amba is a handy fruit when it comes to cooking mangoes. Unlike the sweet fragrance of the ripe fruit, raw mangoes have a strong/pungent smell.

The benefits of raw mangoes are many – they contain Vitamin C that works wonders for your tummy troubles, they contain pectin, found in other fruits, such as apples and berries, and they also contain Vitamin A that helps with your body’s natural defense mechanisms.

With so many benefits, why not try out a new dish with this fruit. Let’s try the healthy and easy Burmese Raw Mango Salad.
