Dried mango is the fruit of the mango that has undergone a dehydration process, removing most of its water content to preserve it for longer and concentrate its sweet and tropical flavor. This ingredient retains the characteristic aroma and taste of fresh mango, but with a chewy texture and a more intense sweetness.
The mango is native to South Asia, especially the Indian region, and its cultivation has spread to tropical and subtropical areas of Latin America, Africa, and the Caribbean. In these regions, dried mango is widely used in traditional cuisine in both sweet and savory recipes.
Regarding its properties, dried mango is a good source of dietary fiber, antioxidants, vitamins A and C, as well as minerals such as potassium and magnesium. Being dehydrated, its caloric value is higher compared to fresh mango, so it is recommended to consume it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
In different Latin American countries, dried mango may also be found under various synonyms such as: dehydrated mango, mango raisins, or simply dried mango. Depending on the region, its preparation or presentation may vary (in strips, pieces, or powder), but it always maintains its versatility to be added to desserts, salads, energy bowls, sauces, or as a healthy snack.
