2. Anyone can definitely appreciate mangoes or
even an assuming piece of dried mango fruit. It is
probably one of the popular fruits enjoyed by
many in the world since its sweetness and
sourness are balanced well in between. As a
yummy treat, it is also a rich source of
antioxidants (in the form of phenols), iron,
Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Selenium and even
Calcium. If there is an abundance of fresh
mangoes in your house, it might be nice to spend
some time in the kitchen and do your own batch
of dried mangoes.

4. Although a dried mango is always processed and
manufactured through dehydration, attempting a
DIY dried mango project at home is definitely
worth the try. Again, if mangoes are in abundance
in your household, then there is absolutely
nothing to lose with this DIY fruit snack project.
For a DIY dried mangoes project, of course you
will need a bunch of ripe mangoes ready on your
kitchen table. Cut the cheeks of the mangoes up to
the seed core in the middle. That way, you will
have a significant amount of mango chunks to
scoop out.

5. Put the chunks of mangoes inside a food
processor and wait for it to be pureed. Once the
mangoes have been pureed, spread it over a
cookie sheet pan lined with wax paper. Spread
the pureed mango evenly and bake it inside an
oven. Lining the cookie sheet pan with wax paper
allows the moisture content of the mangoes to be
absorbed by the paper, which is the underlying
principle of dehydrating mangoes in order to
produce packs of dried mango for snacking.

6. If you want a DIY dried mangoes project
alternative, you can go for a more traditionally-
tested recipe. For this other DIY option, you will
need pureed mangoes as well but you will need
to add a few teaspoons of salt. Mix the mango
puree with salt over low heat, and then once it has
cooled down; place 2 tablespoons-full of the
mixture on a plastic. It is best that you have
several small plastic squares on top of a table
while you do this.

7. Spread the 2 tablespoons of mango and salt
mixture, and then dry all of them under the sun
for about 4 hours. Once you see that the mixture
has somehow hardened itself and that it has
turned slightly brown, and then you take it inside
your house to cool it down altogether. It will look
more like candied mangoes but can be as
enjoyable and satisfying as dried mangoes.

9. If you do not have the time to make your dried
mango snack inside your own kitchen, of course
the option to buy dried mango whether from the
supermarket or from an online store that carries
organic fruit snacks is always available. If you
buy dried mango, you have to make sure that you
will check the date when it was manufactured.
That way, you can be sure that it is fresh for your
snacking pleasure even if you did not prepare it
yourself.
