Organic Mango Butter

Mango butter is a fat derived from the pit of the mango fruit. It is typically extracted through a process of crushing the mango seeds and then pressing or using solvents to remove the oil. The resulting butter is a solid at room temperature but melts easily when heated.

Manufacturers use mango butter as a fat or oil in food products, similar to cocoa butter or shea butter. It can add richness and a smooth texture to items like non-dairy frozen desserts and chocolates. Its stable structure and mild flavor make it a versatile ingredient in various confectioneries.

Mango butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily a source of fatty acids, similar to other vegetable fats. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated fats and oils, but specific evaluations for mango butter are not widely publicized. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
