Raw mangoes are versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes and drinks, such as pickles, chutneys, salads, and juices. They are also packed with health benefits, as they are a rich source of Vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. Raw mangoes have been used in traditional medicine to alleviate various ailments and boost immunity.
