Another way to serve fermented mango chutney is to spoon it directly on top of a salad of organic baby greens. The flavor is incredibly complex, both sour and sweet.
Fermented Mango Chutney
Mango chutney was the very first fermented condiment I ever tasted many years ago. My friend Della made it for a potluck at her home. I remember nearly falling over as it was so delicious and welcome on my stomach! From that point on, I was hooked on traditionally fermented foods. Your body literally cries out for these types of super nutrient dense, easily digested foods loaded with probiotics!
If you love mango, try this recipe for raspberry or mango lassi too.
I hope you try making it right away!

The video below shows how to make probiotic mango chutney yourself. Feel free to substitute pineapple or papaya for the mango if desired. A 50-50 mix of pineapple and mango cubes works very well together too.

Looks fantastic! I will definately try this. I made the sauerkraut and moved it into the fridge last night – haven't tried it yet.
I did get my blog about kimchi posted, if you are interested:

Sarah, what do you think of omitting the sucanat from this recipe, or perhaps substituting stevia? Does it really need the extra sweetness in your opinion? I realize there's not much in there, but I need to keep all sugar out of my diet. I'm thinking that if the mango is sweet enough maybe I don't need the sucanat.
I think you could probably omit the sucanat and use a few drops of stevia instead. Should be fine. If you try it, please check back and let me know how it turned out! I may try it myself.
I am very excited about trying this but am worried about finding sucanat. Is there something that you would recommend replacing it with if I can not find any? (other than the stevia)
Hi Kim, how about rapadura? If you have a healthfood store nearby, they should carry either sucanat or rapadura.
Can you use anything besides whey? I really want to make this, but I have a family member who is terribly allergic to all milk products.
