About Dried unsweetened mango

Dried unsweetened mango is a dehydrated fruit derived from fresh mangoes, originally cultivated in South Asia and now popular in global cuisines. Often enjoyed as a snack or used in desserts, it retains the concentrated flavor of ripe mangoes but without added sugars. This dried fruit is a dense source of energy, providing carbohydrates alongside important nutrients such as dietary fiber, vitamin A, and vitamin C. As water is removed during drying, these nutrients become more concentrated compared to fresh mango, however, it is also higher in calories. Dried mango contains no fat and minimal protein but offers natural sweetness and is an excellent choice for boosting energy levels during physical activity or as part of a balanced diet.
