Mango Pickle (Naani maa ki recipe)

Q. What makes this mango pickle special?

A. Our pickle is made using farm-fresh raw mangoes, sun-dried the traditional way, and blended with spices in cold-pressed black mustard oil. No refined oils, no artificial preservatives—just honest, handmade goodness in every bite.

Q. Why use cold-pressed mustard oil in pickle?

A. Cold-pressed mustard oil acts as a natural preservative, thanks to its antibacterial and antifungal properties. It enhances shelf life, adds authentic pungency, and locks in the natural flavor of spices—unlike refined oils that are processed and flavorless.

Q. Do I need to refrigerate the pickle?

A. It’s not necessary. Our pickle is designed to last months at room temperature if kept in a dry, clean jar. Avoid wet spoons and moisture to maintain freshness.

Q. Why does the taste of the pickle change slightly over time?

A. That’s natural. Since we don’t use preservatives, the pickle continues to ferment slightly over weeks, enhancing its depth and richness. This is a sign of a live, handmade product.

Q. How is this pickle different from supermarket pickles?

A. Most commercial pickles are made with refined oil, artificial flavors, synthetic vinegar, and stabilizers. Ours is made with cold-pressed mustard oil, natural sun-drying, and zero chemicals—giving you real health and real flavor.

Q. What type of mangoes are used in this pickle?

A. We use Ramkela mangoes—the gold standard for Indian pickles. Known for their thick skin, tangy flavor, and firm texture, Ramkela mangoes are ideal for pickling as they retain their bite and taste even after months of fermentation. Sourced fresh and cut within hours, they bring authentic, bold flavor to every jar.
