What it is
These are dried strips of ripe mango, offering a concentrated sweet and tangy flavor. The drying process removes moisture, intensifying the natural taste of the fruit and giving it a chewy texture. They are a convenient way to enjoy the tropical essence of mango without the need for fresh fruit. The strips are typically made from pure mango, with no added sugars or preservatives, allowing the fruit's inherent qualities to shine through.
