Raw Mango Drink

Raw Mango drink is a soothing and comforting drink during summer. It is one of the traditional recipe from olden days. My aunt used to prepare this drink and we used enjoy most of the summer days.

I have used Raw Mango, jaggery which is very good cooling agent for our body and very little spices like jeera and pepper. Adding pepper and jeera helps the drink not only the spicy taste but takes care of our health too.
Lets see some benefits of having " Raw Mango " in our diet.
Raw mangoes are very good for treating blood disorders. They contain high amount of Vitamin C and it helps to boosts the formation of new blood cells. Raw mangoes are good for hormonal health. They contain Vitamin B and it helps to retain good health. Raw mangoes help to constipation and indigestion problems. They are good for removing the infections. Raw mangoes contain Vitamin A and Vitamin E which helps to enhance the hormonal system. Raw mangoes help to prevent dehydration and quench the thirst. Drinking unripe mango juice prevents the excessive loss of sodium chloride and iron. Raw mango is good to treat liver disorder.
Lets see the recipe now. I have used Totapuri Mango and it is not that sour and it is also eaten with salt and chilly powder.
