Spicy Mango Slices
What it is
These are pre-sliced mangoes that have been seasoned with chili powder. The fruit is typically sweet and tropical, with a mild heat from the chili. The combination offers a balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors. The mango is usually firm enough to hold its shape after slicing. It is a convenient way to enjoy a popular snack combination.
