Mango peels could be of great use if used wisely. Not just are they beneficial for health, they can make up some amazing and tasty dishes.
If some studies are to be believed, mango peels have a high content of vitamin A and C and can help in boosting immunity. Besides, mango peels could boost metabolism and can even help in shedding those extra kilos. The antioxidants found in mango peels can prevent harmful diseases. Besides, they can also promote smooth skin and maintain blood sugar levels. You didn’t know this, did you? The best part is you can make so many amazing dishes from something you have been throwing away for ages. Here is the list!

This will give the right amount of tanginess, taste and health factor to your regular dal. Don’t forget to make this mango peel dal at home.
Mango Peel Raita
Raita completes a meal. One can make raita with so many vegetables and spices, but have you ever thought of making raita with mango peels?

Mango Peel Chutney
We cannot disagree but a little portion of chutney can enhance the taste of an entire meal. And there could be nothing better than a delicious green chutney flavoured with the tanginess of mangoes.

You can store this concentrate in an airtight container.
Mango Peel Pickle
