Pravin Mango Pickle — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Pravin Mango Pickle by Pravin OKAY — score 60/90.

A traditional short-ingredient mango pickle with no artificial junk, but it's a salt-and-oil bomb meant as a condiment, not a health food.

Why this verdict

• Whole green mango is the #1 ingredient at 63%, not filler
• Short, recognizable list with no artificial colors, flavors, or emulsifiers
• Very high salt raises blood pressure risk if eaten in more than small amounts
• Cottonseed oil is a refined seed oil, used generously in pickles
• Meant as a condiment, not a food you eat in volume

Ingredients (9)

• Green Mango (63%) (safe) — Whole raw mango, the real base of the pickle and a genuine fruit ingredient.
• Iodised Salt (safe) — Sodium with added iodine; fine in small amounts but adds to the sodium load.
• Cotton Seed Oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil used in large quantity to coat and preserve; calorie-dense.
• mustard (safe) — Traditional whole spice, adds flavor and mild antimicrobial effect.
• Red Chilli (safe) — Whole spice, flavor and mild metabolic benefit.
• Fenugreek (safe) — Traditional seed spice with no health concern in this amount.
• Turmeric (safe) — Natural spice used for the bright yellow color instead of a synthetic dye.
• Acidity Regulator - Acetic Acid (E260) (moderate) — Food-grade vinegar acid used to control pH; it does act as a preservative, which contradicts the 'no preservative' claim, but it's low-risk.
• Asafoetida (safe) — Traditional resin spice used in tiny amounts for aroma and digestion.
