Amchur is a dehydrated product made from unripe mangoes. Traditionally Amchur is an "Indian spice" made from unripe green mangoes those are cut into slices, sun-dried and pounded into powder. In Maharashtra, amchur is prepared on large scale in tribal area of satpuda hills in Nandurbar district. Amchur provides an excellent outlet for the economic utilization of fallen, marketable surplus unripe green fruits under climate resilience. Moreover, there is no risk of stealing of fruits by stress passers, pedestrians or thefts. Within a very short period income is generated from amchur alongwith employment which is provided to the rural community in their village itself.
