Salsa is a famous Mexican sauce that is commonly used as a dip. Often spicy, its spiciness level may vary from quite mild to very strong. A typical salsa consists of tomatoes, onions, chilies, citrus, and coriander (cilantro).

Hello, Dred cuan, green mangoes do not contain much sugar. It is more than 90% starch. When partially treat with heat, the starch is converted to sugar gradually. In such cases, it will not spike the blood. That is why it is used as a remedy for the treatment of od diabetes mellitus.

It is the ripe or semi-ripe mangoes that are saturated with sugar. Here moderation is the law. I hope this helps. Thank you for weighing in. Enjoy the weekend.
