Quantity/Pack: 3 packages (3 Ounces each)Seasonality: Year RoundOrigin: MexicoDrying fruit is an ancient, traditional method, which not only makes the fruit last longer, but also concentrates it flavor. This technique came to America by way of early European settlers. Medieval Europeans placed apples in warm ovens, then peeled, cored and hung them in wreaths from their kitchen ceilings to complete the drying process. Today, California is the main producer of dried fruit. Although some fruits are now artificially dried, sun-drying is still the favored technique. Six pounds of fresh fruit will produce one pound of dried fruit. Yet, because dried fruit is sweeter and richer in flavor than fresh fruit, it has become an invaluable ingredient in baking and desserts. Melissa’s Dried Mango offers the super-sweet, rich mango flavor you crave, any time and any place. A wholesome, low calorie snack that can be eaten right from the bag, dried mango can also be used in cakes, quick breads, muffins and more. You can even keep a package in your car, baby bag or purse to enjoy this sweet, wholesome treat anytime. Melissa's Dried Mango Slices are hand-selected for excellent quality. Drying a ripe fruit will cause it to lose most of its moisture and accumulate natural sugars, thus allowing Melissa's Dried Mango Slices to keep almost indefinitely.
