Description

Frozen Alphonso mango pulp is a premium option for capturing the rich, sweet, and aromatic flavor of the “king of mangoes” for year-round enjoyment. Here’s a comprehensive guide:

How we Prepare Frozen Alphonso Mango Pulp

1. Select High-Quality Alphonso Mangoes:
   • Look for fully ripe Alphonso mangoes with a deep golden color and a fragrant aroma.
2. Wash and Peel:
   • Wash thoroughly under running water.
   • Peel off the skin using a sharp knife or peeler.
3. Extract the Pulp:
   • Slice off the flesh around the seed.
   • Blend the mango chunks into a smooth pulp. Alphonso mangoes naturally have a smooth, creamy texture, so straining is optional.
4. Optional Sweetening:
   • Add sugar only if the mangoes are not sweet enough. Alphonso mangoes are typically naturally sweet.
5. Portion and Freeze:
   • Pour the pulp into airtight freezer-safe containers, silicone molds, or zip-lock bags.
   • Flatten bags to save space and freeze faster.
   • Label with the date and freeze for up to 8 months.
