An image of a jar of mango pickle on the table brings about a sense of calm. The golden-orange oil floating on top, the sharp smell that hits your nose after you take the lid off, and the fact that it isn't just a condiment, it is a moment and a tradition, a love language that has been passed down for generations from Indian kitchens.
Here at Priya Foods, we do not believe that a good mango pickle is dependent solely on the mango itself, but also on what the mango pickle has been prepared with; every seed, every pod, and every pinch of hand-ground spice that takes the raw fruit and creates a wonderful product. Our Cut Mango Pickle with Garlic is a perfect example of what we do here at Priya Foods: we create bold and authentic flavours that have a strong base in tradition; they are prepared with care, and shipped directly to your doorstep.
So, let us open the jar and see the spices that go into making mango pickle a side dish that is so much more than just a side dish.
Mustard Seeds: The Heart of the Mango Pickle
If mango pickle had a heartbeat, it would be mustard seeds. Mustard seeds are the very first ingredient to go into any authentic pickle, and they are there for a good reason: they are a natural preservative, which is why traditionally made pickles can sit on the shelf for months without spoiling.
The benefits of mustard seeds go well beyond their ability to preserve. Mustard seeds have a high concentration of both selenium and magnesium, which are both beneficial to heart health and reducing inflammation in the body. Mustard seeds also stimulate digestion, which is why a spoonful of pickle after a heavy meal is not just tradition, but actually makes sense.
In Priya Foods’ mango pickle, mustard seeds are used as both whole seeds and ground seeds, giving the pickle its signature bite and depth of flavour.
Fenugreek (Methi) Seeds — The Unsung Hero of Homemade Pickles Online
Fenugreek seeds bring a subtle bitterness that balances the sour punch of raw mango beautifully. If you've ever wondered why some pickles feel complete and others fall flat, fenugreek is usually the answer.
Health-wise, fenugreek is a powerhouse:
Helps regulate blood sugar — a boon for those managing diabetes
Aids digestion and reduces bloating
Rich in iron — supporting energy and immunity
Anti-inflammatory properties that benefit joints and gut health
Priya Foods uses fenugreek in just the right proportion, enough to add character, not enough to overpower.
Red Chili Powder — The Soul of Every Great Mango Pickle
The addition of red chili is an essential factor in earning the title of 'mango pickle'. Red chili not only adds spice to the dish, but also gives it its bright red colour and contributes to the warmth of the dish which causes craving for more.
Red chili is also made up of a component called capsaicin that is known to have many health benefits, including:
Increased metabolism/weight control
Natural pain relief
Increase circulation
Rich source of Vitamin C and antioxidants
Priya Foods uses the highest quality of red chili to ensure that the pickles they sell provide a significant amount of colour and heat without making them too hot. The end result produces a smooth, satisfying heat to complement the flavour of the mango.
Turmeric — The Golden Ingredient That Makes Homemade Pickles Even Better
Turmeric is India's oldest health secret, and in mango pickle, it does double duty — it's both a preservative and a healer.
Curcumin, turmeric's active compound, is one of the most studied natural anti-inflammatories in the world. Regular consumption has been linked to:
Improved joint health and reduced arthritis symptoms
Better gut health and digestion
Liver detoxification
Enhanced immunity
That beautiful golden hue in Priya Foods' mango pickle? That's turmeric.
Garlic — What Makes Priya Foods' Cut Mango Pickle Truly Special
Priya's Pickle stands out from others because it contains Garlic. There are few all-natural superfoods with the power of garlic as it's filled with:
Allicin - The main compound in garlic has very strong antibacterial and antiviral effects,
Can naturally lower blood pressure and cholesterol
Aids in promoting a healthy gut microbiome
Helps to strengthen immune systems in response to seasonal changes
In our Cut Mango Pickle with Garlic, garlic is infused directly into the oil and spice mix, so every piece of mango carries that deep, savory warmth. It's the detail that makes first-time customers become loyal ones.
