Sage Valley Unsulphured Dried Mango Slices
What it is
These are dried slices of ripe mango that have not been treated with sulfur dioxide. The absence of sulfur dioxide means the color may be less vibrant, often appearing a deeper yellow or brownish hue compared to sulphured dried fruits. The natural sugars in the mango are concentrated during the drying process, resulting in a sweet and chewy texture. This product offers a convenient way to enjoy the tropical flavor of mango year-round.
How people cook with it
Dried mango slices are a versatile ingredient and snack.
- Snack on them straight from the bag.
- Add to trail mix.
- Incorporate into baked goods.
- Use in savory dishes.
Enjoy these dried mango slices as a quick and satisfying snack. They are also excellent when added to homemade trail mixes alongside nuts and seeds. For baking, chop them finely and mix into muffins, scones, or cookies for bursts of tropical sweetness. In savory applications, they can be rehydrated and added to curries, rice pilafs, or chutneys to provide a contrasting sweet and tangy element. Their chewy texture makes them a delightful addition to many culinary creations.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike sulphured dried mango, unsulphured mango slices do not undergo a chemical treatment to preserve their color and extend shelf life. This results in a more natural flavor profile and a color that may vary from bright yellow to a deeper, more natural mango shade. The taste is purely that of the fruit itself, without any subtle chemical undertones.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any unused dried mango slices in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight and humidity, which can cause the fruit to become sticky or spoil. Properly stored, they will retain their chewy texture and sweet flavor for an extended period.
