Sprouts Lime Chamoy Mango Slices
What it is
These are dried mango slices that have been coated with a savory and tangy chamoy sauce, infused with lime. The chamoy sauce typically includes chiles, lime juice, and salt, creating a complex flavor profile. The mango itself provides a natural sweetness, which is balanced by the spicy, sour, and salty notes of the coating. The texture is chewy from the dried mango, with a slightly sticky coating.
