Description
The green mangoes are harvested while they are still unripe, sliced, and then sun-dried or dehydrated to remove the moisture. Once dried, they are ground into a fine powder, resulting in amchur powder. Amchur powder has a light yellow to pale brown color and a slightly sweet and sour taste, reminiscent of tart, citrusy mangoes. It offers a distinct tanginess to dishes without adding moisture. In culinary applications, amchur powder is frequently used as a souring agent in curries, chutneys, marinades, and pickles. It is particularly popular in vegetarian and vegan cooking as it adds a refreshing, fruity flavor to vegetable-based dishes. Beyond its culinary uses, amchur powder is also known for its potential health benefits. It is rich in vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants. Amchur powder is widely available in Indian grocery stores and specialty spice shops. It is typically sold in powdered form in sealed packages or containers to maintain its freshness. Proper storage in a cool, dry place will help preserve its flavor and quality over time.
