 Aam Panna is an Indian drink renowned for its heat resistant properties. It is made from green mangoes and is consumed as a tasty and healthy beverage to fight against the intense Indian summer heat. It is a great remedy for heat stroke and dehydration. It is packed with vitamins too.
Aam Panna, which is prepared using raw mangoes, sugar and an assortment of spices, quenches thirst and prevents the excessive loss of sodium chloride and iron during summer due to excessive sweating. The drink is mainly consumed in north India and is considered beneficial in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. Green mango is a rich source of pectin, which gradually diminishes after the formation of the stone. 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, anaemia, cholera and dysentery.
