Raw mango is a rich source of pectin, which gradually diminishes after the formation of the stone. Unripe mango is sour in taste because of the presence of oxalic, citric and malic acids.

Aam panna or Aam Jhora, which is prepared using raw mangoes, cumin, and an assortment of other spices,[1] quenches thirst and prevents the excessive loss of sodium chloride and iron during summer due to excessive sweating.[2] The drink is mainly consumed in north India and is considered beneficial in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. It is also a good source of vitamin B₁ and B₂, niacin, and vitamin C. In Indian culture, it is regarded as a tonic believed to increase resistance against tuberculosis, anemia, cholera and dysentery.
