What it is
Dry mango powder, also called amchur, is made from dried, unripe green mangoes. The unripe mangoes are typically sliced, sun-dried, and then ground into a fine powder. It has a tart, fruity flavor.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dry mango powder as a souring agent and flavor enhancer, similar to lemon or vinegar but with a distinct fruity note. It is commonly found in Indian spice blends, marinades, chutneys, and savory dishes like curries and lentil preparations.
Health notes
Dry mango powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is primarily a source of flavor and does not have specific regulatory limits for intake. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption as a food ingredient.
Allergen info
Dry mango powder is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It is gluten-free.
