Explanation:
Fresh mangoes will not be available on all months, so they are processed into puree. This puree are used to remanufacture various products like jam, jelly, squash, etc.
Puree is nothing but pulp of mango. Squash is a concentrated form of syrup which is mainly used for making drinks in season when fresh mangoes may not be available. Nowadays, squashes contain added flavors, colors, and preservatives.
