Their natural sweetness also makes them a surprising addition to some savory dishes, like salsas or glazes for chicken or fish. They require no preparation, saving time in the kitchen.
How it differs from similar foods

They are typically processed to ensure consistent ripeness and sweetness, which can sometimes be variable when selecting whole fruit. The slicing method also presents the mango in an appealing, bite-sized format.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Once opened, transfer any unused mango cheeks to an airtight container and refrigerate. It is best to consume them within 2-3 days to maintain optimal freshness and flavor. Keep the package sealed to prevent drying out and to protect the fruit from absorbing other odors in the refrigerator.
