Spicy and Sweet Chili Mango Chunks
What it is
These are dried mango pieces infused with a blend of chili and other spices. The process involves selecting ripe mangoes, slicing them, and then dehydrating them to a chewy consistency. During or after dehydration, a seasoning mixture is applied, creating a unique sweet, spicy, and slightly tangy flavor profile. The texture is firm yet yielding, offering a satisfying chew.
