Pagbuburo or fermentation is an ancient process of putting salt to meat or vegetables to preserve foods. This method is used by our ancestors when there was still no electricity yet or refrigerator is inaccessible.

Today, it is still being used by many people to keep perishable foods have a longer shelf life. It also keeps the tenderness and adds flavor to the food.

Many vegetables are preserved using fermentation, but on this article, I will share with you one of the many ways to enjoy your unripe mangoes.

The saltiness, sweetness and spiciness of chilli in sour mangoes is something you will crave for!

It made my mouth water, I've never tried this combination but the acid of the mango with the sweet and spicy touch must be an explosive flavour.

Yes it is! Once you start, you can't stop until it's all consumed!
