Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it last once opened?
Properly stored in a cool, dry place with a dry spoon, it stays fresh for 6–8 months. The flavour actually deepens over time.
Does it contain any artificial preservatives?
No. Zero preservatives, zero artificial additives. Only raw mango, mustard, red chilli, fenugreek, rock salt, and cold-pressed sesame oil.
Is this made with raw or ripe mangoes?
Raw, firm mangoes - sun-dried to concentrate their natural sourness. This is what gives authentic Avakaya its sharp, tangy character.
How should I store it?
Store in a cool, dark place. Always use a dry spoon. Refrigerate in humid climates for extended shelf life.
What makes this different from store-bought pickle?
Commercial pickles use artificial preservatives, refined oil, and pre-ground spices. Ours is small-batch, handmade with whole spices and cold-pressed sesame oil - the way it's been made in Andhra households for generations.
