The ability to cook mango juice with your own hands is quite valuable: as practice shows, the store product does not always meet the necessary requirements. For the most part, a significant amount of sugar is injected into it, and the production of the beverage itself is produced by recovery from dry matter. The simplest solution, of course, is to use a juicer. Through it pass the pulp, pre-cut into relatively small pieces.

It is possible to bring nectar to condition by diluting it with a small amount of water, because it is very saturated with active substances and may even seem sugary, due to the large amount of sugars.

A compulsory additive is a small amount of water, and even to taste it is worth adding a certain amount of crushed ice. When the mass is crushed, the juice is sometimes passed through a sieve to clean it from the pulp. If you need it, you can not do this. When drinking mango juice, one should not forget about the sweetness of even a diluted liquid rich in fast carbohydrates. Much depends on the quality of the mango, which is taken to get the juice.

Softness of the fetus is desirable, but it should not be excessive. The fruit of good nectar, which spreads out in the hand at the first touch, will not be able to give.Maturity is assessed by elasticity and gravity. The rind of the fruit should be smooth and not leave unpleasant sensations when touched.

The yield of mango juice from a kilogram of pulp can be very significant, in relation to the mass of fruits, it reaches 60-85% (depending on their humidity, the method used and whether the product is cleansed of pulp or not). In addition to drinking as an independent beverage, this juice can be used:

• as part of summer fruit salads;
• for cooking home baking;
• in desserts;
• in sorbets;
• in jelly and other culinary products.

When preparing nectar on your own or buying it in finished form, it should be borne in mind that mango juice can bring not only benefit but also harm to the body. The use of nectar derived from unripe fruit, can cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, provoke the development of colic. Therefore, it must be diluted with water. If you prepare the juice from a fully ripe fruit, this problem is not dangerous. But there is a risk of an allergic reaction, you can face constipation and even feverish conditions.

Doctors believe that mango juice has no place in the diet of patients with colitis and gastritis. Pregnant women (assuming a normal state of the body and the absence of the complications indicated above contraindications) can drink nectar calmly. But this will have to be agreed with the doctor, since allergies are likely to occur.
