Things to Watch Out For
- Added Sugar – Some brands coat pineapple in sugar syrup; opt for unsweetened or naturally dried versions.
- Sulfites – Used as preservatives in some dried fruits; choose sulfite-free if sensitive.
- Portion Control – High in natural sugars, so stick to ¼ cup (40g) per serving to avoid excess calories.
Best Ways to Enjoy Dried Mangoes
- As a standalone snack
- Mixed into trail mix with nuts & seeds
- Added to oatmeal or yogurt
- Blended into smoothies
- Used in baking (muffins, granola bars)
- Paired with spicy or savory dishes (e.g., tacos, stir-fries)
Short-Term Storage (Up to 1 Month)
- Airtight Container: Use a glass jar, plastic container, or resealable bag to block moisture and air.
- Cool, Dark Place: Store in a pantry or cupboard away from heat, sunlight, and humidity.
- Desiccant Packets (Optional): Add a food-safe silica gel packet to absorb excess moisture, especially in humid climates.
Signs of Spoilage
- Mold: Discard if you see any fuzzy growth.
- Unpleasant Smell: A sour or fermented odor means it’s gone bad.
- Hard or Sticky Texture: Over-dried pineapple is safe but less enjoyable; sticky pieces may indicate excess moisture.
