In dried form, those characteristics concentrate into an intensely sweet, slightly tangy piece with a chewy texture that makes dried mango one of the most popular single-ingredient dried fruits in the world. Our sweetened mango contains added cane sugar, which deepens the tropical sweetness and helps achieve that classic chewy texture. For a no-sugar option, see our Dried Mango Slices with No Sugar Added.

Mango varieties differ considerably in their dried flavor profile, some lean more floral, others more citrus-forward. The drying process preserves the fruit’s signature aroma compounds, making dried mango one of the few dried fruits that genuinely smells like its fresh counterpart.

What Are Dried Mango Slices?

Dried mango slices are sections of fresh mango (Mangifera indica) that have been dehydrated to remove moisture, concentrating the fruit’s natural sweetness, aroma, and nutrients. Mango is classified as a drupe (stone fruit) and is one of the most widely cultivated tropical fruits globally, with India producing approximately 40% of the world’s supply. The mango tree is native to South and Southeast Asia, where cultivation dates back over 4,000 years. Our sweetened mango slices contain added cane sugar, which deepens the tropical sweetness and contributes to the characteristic chewy texture. The mango’s signature aroma, one of the most complex in the fruit world, with over 270 identified volatile compounds, persists in the dried form.

Key Health Benefits of Dried Mango

Vitamin C: Immune and Connective Tissue Support

Mango is one of the richer tropical fruit sources of vitamin C, USDA FoodData Central reports approximately 36.4 mg per 100g of fresh mango. The drying process causes some degradation, but dried mango retains meaningful vitamin C content. Vitamin C is essential for immune function, collagen synthesis, wound healing, and acts as a water-soluble antioxidant. The NIH recommends 75-90 mg daily for non-smoking adults.

Provitamin A (Beta-Carotene)

Mango’s golden-yellow color reflects its beta-carotene content, USDA FoodData Central reports approximately 445 µg per 100g fresh, which concentrates in the dried form. Beta-carotene is converted to retinol (vitamin A) by the body as needed. Vitamin A supports normal vision, immune defense, and skin integrity. The NIH identifies provitamin A carotenoids from fruit as an important dietary source.

Folate (Vitamin B9)

Fresh mango provides approximately 43 µg of folate per 100g, a meaningful contribution to the recommended 400 µg daily intake. Folate is essential for DNA synthesis, red blood cell production, and neural tube development during early pregnancy. Dried mango retains a portion of the fresh fruit’s folate content.

Dietary Fiber

A 1 oz serving of dried mango provides approximately 0.8-1g of dietary fiber. While lower than some dried fruits due to mango’s composition, this contributes to daily fiber intake and supports digestive function alongside the fruit’s natural sugars.

Natural Energy and Electrolytes

Dried mango is energy-dense, providing approximately 95 calories per ounce from natural and added sugars, a practical, portable energy source. Mango also contains potassium (approximately 168 mg per 100g fresh) and small amounts of magnesium, supporting electrolyte balance. As with all foods, individual results may vary. Gerbs makes no medical claims.

Flavor & Texture Profile

Sweetened dried mango is intensely sweet, fragrant, and distinctly mango in character, with floral and citrus notes that carry through the drying process. The cane sugar deepens the sweetness and contributes to the characteristic dense, chewy texture. A slight natural tartness at the edge balances the richness. The texture is satisfyingly chewy, not tough, not sticky, with a pleasant bite that makes it hard to stop at one piece.

Ingredients

Mango, Cane Sugar.

How to Use Dried Mango Slices

Straight Snacking

Sweetened dried mango slices are one of the most popular single-ingredient dried fruit snacks globally for good reason, the flavor is vivid, the texture is satisfying, and each slice delivers a complete sensory experience. Eat directly from the bag or portion into servings for lunchboxes, desk drawers, and travel. The 89 calories per ounce make portion management straightforward.

Tropical Smoothies

Blend dried mango slices (soaked in water for 10-15 minutes first for easier blending) into tropical smoothies alongside pineapple juice, coconut milk, and banana for an intensely mango-forward smoothie with no fresh mango required. The concentrated sugars in dried mango provide natural sweetness to the smoothie without adding refined sugar.

Salsa and Relish

Dice dried mango and combine with lime juice, cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño (or hot pepper) for a mango salsa that works year-round regardless of fresh mango availability. The dried mango’s sweetness balances the acid and heat of the other ingredients. Serve with grilled fish or shrimp, or as a condiment for grain bowls.

Baking

Chop dried mango and fold into muffins, scones, granola bars, and tropical-themed quick breads. Their intense tropical sweetness and chewy texture hold up well through baking. Mango-coconut scones and mango-lime muffins benefit particularly from dried mango’s concentrated flavor.

Cheese Boards

Dried mango pairs well with aged and semi-firm cheeses, particularly those with a buttery, mild character. Add to a cheese board alongside crackers and other dried fruits for a tropical element that broadens the board’s flavor range beyond traditional European dried fruit pairings.
