About Amba

Amba is a tangy, spicy mango pickle condiment originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly popular in Iraqi, Israeli, and Indian culinary traditions. Made from fermented green mangoes, Amba typically includes ingredients like vinegar, salt, turmeric, mustard seeds, fenugreek, and chili, which give it its vibrant yellow-orange color and bold flavor. Rich in probiotics due to the fermentation process, Amba can support digestion and gut health. It is also packed with antioxidants from turmeric and mangoes, which may have anti-inflammatory properties. However, Amba is high in sodium due to the pickling process, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation. Commonly paired with falafel, shawarma, or sabich, Amba adds a zesty kick to dishes while offering a blend of nutrients and spices. Its balance of health benefits and intense flavor has made it a versatile and beloved condiment across several cuisines.
