Setton Farms Dried Mango
What it is
This is dried mango, a fruit snack made from ripe mangoes that have been dehydrated to remove most of their water content. The process concentrates the natural sweetness and chewy texture of the fruit. It is a convenient way to enjoy the tropical flavor of mangoes without the need for refrigeration. The pieces are typically bite-sized and ready to eat.
How people cook with it
Dried mango is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into various dishes. It adds a burst of tropical sweetness and a satisfying chew to both sweet and savory preparations.
- Snack on its own
- Add to trail mix
- Incorporate into baked goods
- Top yogurt or oatmeal
Enjoy these dried mango pieces straight from the bag for a quick and satisfying snack. They are also excellent when added to homemade trail mixes, providing a chewy and sweet contrast to nuts and seeds. For baking, they can be chopped and mixed into muffins, cookies, or bread dough, infusing them with a tropical flavor. They can also be rehydrated in warm water or juice for a softer texture, making them suitable for compotes or as a topping for breakfast bowls.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining dried mango in an airtight container or the original resealable bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or excessive heat, which can cause the fruit to become sticky or spoil. Properly stored, it will retain its quality for an extended period.
