This is the easiest way

Dry the mangoes yourself

Peel your mango and cut the fruit into not too large pieces. The larger the mango pieces, the longer the drying time and the greater the risk that too much residual moisture will remain and the dry mangoes will start to go moldy. Dry the mango pieces in the warm dry air, in the attic, in a dehydrator or in the oven.

For drying in the attic or in the air, you can pull the mango pieces on a string and hang dry. The fruit pieces must not touch each other, otherwise they will not dry evenly and there is a risk of mold. A slight draft is advantageous because the drying process should not take too long. Find a dry, warm place for this.

If you want to dry the mango pieces in the oven, place the pieces on a wire rack or baking sheet and set the oven to 70 ° C. Do not close the oven door completely; leave an opening through which the moisture can escape. Pack the completely dried and cooled mango pieces airtight and store them in a dark and cool place.

The essentials in brief:

• only use fully ripe fruits without bruises
• cut into not too large pieces
• dry quickly and thoroughly
• pack after cooling
• Store airtight, cool and dark
