Mango Ginger is a family of ginger or turmeric. This is available in certain seasons only. This looks like normal ginger but it smells like raw mango. Some call it as white ginger. This has the best medicinal value and is very good for digestion. Unripe pepper is plucked fresh from the plant before it ripens. I learnt this recipe from my periamma(Mom’s sister).

For how long will this pickle last without refrigeration?
Well, I make this pickle during nov – dec and use it within two months. If you want to increase the shelf life and want to avoid the pepper turning black, I crease rhe quantity of lemon juice to 1/4 cup. That will help.
