What it is
Dried sweetened mango is made from fresh mangoes that have been peeled, pitted, and sliced. The fruit slices are then dehydrated to remove most of the water content and coated with sugar or a sugar syrup to preserve them and add sweetness. This process concentrates the mango flavor and creates a chewy texture.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add dried sweetened mango as a sweetener and flavor enhancer, providing a tropical fruit taste. It is often found in snack mixes, trail mixes, baked goods, and confectionery products. Its chewy texture also makes it a popular ingredient in energy bars and some savory dishes.
Health notes
Dried sweetened mango is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The primary health consideration is its added sugar content, which contributes to overall sugar intake. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting added sugars. JECFA has evaluated sugar and sugar-derived ingredients. Evidence on the health effects of added sugars is extensive and generally points to potential risks associated with high intake, such as weight gain and increased risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Allergen info
Dried sweetened mango is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is a fruit product and does not contain gluten.
