Brazil Gourmet Mango Nectar

By: Tanya Patrice | Aug 16, 2006

One of the things I love about being in New York is the access to lots of food products and beverages from other countries. Let's face it - there is no way I was ever going to see Brazil Gourmet Mango Nectar in the grocery stores in Auburn, Alabama! But I am so glad that I got a chance to try this juice because it is EXCELLENT! I love mangoes, and they are good for you too [read the review], and this Mango Nectar tastes EXACTLY like the sweet juice from a mango. The taste is so natural, maybe because it's not made from concentrate and it is 32% juice. It is made from mango pulp, has a nice thickness and body to it, but it is a bit too sweet in my opinion - although I still loved it!

I can think of so many used for this mango nectar - other than drinking it! It would provide a nice flavor for chicken - yes, mango chicken! My easy recipe: mix the mango nectar with store bought sweet and sour sauce. Season the chicken with a little soy sauce, salt and black pepper. Add the sweet and sour mango mix up nd a little hot sauce (or hot peppers), marinate for a little while (i.e. just allow it to sit so the chicken takes on the mango flavor) and then bake! When it's almost done, add a few pineapple chunks and green peppers I also used this mango nectar in my morning smoothies, in baking (I made mango pineapple upside down cake) and in some new alcoholic beverages ... I meant to say my friend tried it in those alcoholic beverages ...
