Whole Foods Market Mango Coconut & Pepper Marinade
What it is
This marinade is a flavorful blend designed to tenderize and infuse meats, poultry, and seafood with tropical sweetness and a hint of spice. It combines the bright, fruity notes of mango with the creamy richness of coconut, balanced by a gentle pepper kick. The liquid base helps to penetrate the food, making it ideal for marinating before cooking.
