Several items can be made from mangoes to preserve them for longer durations.
These include mango pickle (aam ka achar), aam papad (dried mango sheets), mango murabba (sweet mango preserve), dried mango slices, mango chutney, mango jam, and canned mango pulp.
These preservation methods remove moisture or add preservatives like oil, sugar, or spices to prevent microbial growth and extend shelf life.
