Mango juice

Mango juice is the liquid extracted from ripe mangoes, a tropical stone fruit native to South Asia. It is produced by pressing the fruit pulp, often after removing the skin and pit. The resulting juice can be consumed as is or further processed for use in food products.

Mango juice is primarily used to impart a distinct tropical flavour and aroma to food and drink products. It can also contribute natural sweetness and colour. It is commonly found in beverages such as smoothies, juices, and flavoured waters, as well as in desserts, yoghurts, and confectionery.

Mango juice is not typically considered a food additive and does not have an E-number. It is a source of natural sugars, vitamins, and minerals. The NHS Eatwell Guide advises that fruit juices, like whole fruit, count towards daily fruit and vegetable intake, but consumption should be moderate due to their natural sugar content. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming mango juice in typical dietary amounts.
