About Mango dried

Dried mango is made by dehydrating fresh mangoes, native to South and Southeast Asia, where these fruits are a staple in traditional cuisines. Mangoes, including their dried form, are known for their rich natural sweetness and vibrant yellow-orange color. Dried mango retains a significant portion of the nutrients from the fresh fruit, including vitamins A and C, dietary fiber, and small amounts of calcium and iron. However, the dehydration process concentrates sugars, making dried mango a relatively high-calorie snack that should be enjoyed in moderation. Typically found in Asian, Latin American, and tropical cuisines, dried mango is a convenient, shelf-stable option for incorporating fruit into on-the-go diets.
