* The % Daily Value tells you how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to a daily diet. 2,000 calories a day is used for general nutrition advice.

How to read these numbers. The panel measures the dry fruit exactly as it comes out of the pouch. Freeze-drying removes the water and nothing else, so a 25 g serving is roughly a cup of fresh mango with about five sixths of its weight taken out. The sugar is the sugar that cup of mango always had. None of it is added, which is why Added Sugars reads 0 g.

A serving is also more than most people eat dry. A pouch is meant to go into things: blended into a shake, stirred through yogurt or oats, soaked back into pulp for a dessert. Used that way, one serving spreads across a whole recipe rather than a handful.

Shipping

Getting it to you

The exact amount is added at checkout once you enter your address. Orders go out by USPS.

Four ways to use it

Straight off the back of the pouch.

  • Simply munch on it. Straight from the pouch, a few slices at a time.
  • Make a milkshake. Blend the slices into milk for a mango shake.
  • Add it to your cereal plate. It softens slightly in milk or yogurt.
  • Make mango pulp. Reconstitute the dried mango with 500 ml of water.

Storing it

Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight. Once opened, transfer the contents into an airtight container and never use a wet spoon. Moisture is the only thing that will spoil it. No need to refrigerate.

Each pouch contains an oxygen absorber sachet. Take it out and throw it away. It is not food.

Freeze-dried against dehydrated mango

The difference is the reason there is no sugar in the pouch.

Pale gold and brittle, straight from the pouch. Heat-dried mango is darker, denser and usually sweetened.
