SATTVA mango puree is already pulped and ready to use, so you can add it directly to recipes without peeling, chopping, or blending fresh fruit. The smooth, thick consistency makes it easy to incorporate into both chilled and warm preparations.
For cold recipes, stir or blend the puree into smoothies, lassi-style drinks, yoghurt, or chia puddings. It also works well as a topping for desserts or as a base for fruit sauces. Since the puree is already cooked during canning, you can add it at the end of cooking to preserve its aroma and colour.
When substituting this puree for fresh mango, remember that it is sweeter and more concentrated. Taste the puree first and reduce any added sugar in your recipe. Because it adds moisture, you may need to reduce other liquids if a recipe calls for fresh mango chunks. For a thicker texture, simmer the puree briefly to evaporate some water.
The puree can also serve as a natural sweetener in homemade ice cream, pastry creams, or baked goods. Start with a small amount and adjust to your taste.
