HOW TO DEHYDRATE MANGOES
Dehydrating mangoes is as easy as cutting it up and putting it on dehydrator trays. You can dehydrate fresh mangoes that you cut into pieces, or you can buy a tub of already sliced mangoes from the refrigerated section of your produce department and lay it out on trays.
Fresh mangoes are much cheaper but yet a bit more difficult! More difficult because you have to cut them, peel them, and remove the pit.
Make sure you purchase mangoes that are soft – you don’t want to buy mangoes that are too hard or they’ll be challenging to cut!
Arrange your mangoes pieces on your dehydrator trays allowing space to circulate. Dehydrate at 135 degrees F (52 degrees C) for 8-16 hours or until the mangoes are dry. You may need to reference the trays regularly to determine if you need more or less time.
WHEN ARE THE MANGOES DONE?
The mangoes are done when they are still pliable. They will have some bend, but if you bend the pieces and squeeze them, there should be no moisture.
HOW TO STORE
Dehydrated mangoes can be stored in a sealed container or a ziplock bag on the counter. When properly dehydrated and stored, the pieces can last for up to one year. Tips for storing dehydrated mangoes:
- Allow the pieces to cool completely before storing.
- Make sure to label the dehydrated mangoes properly.
- Store the container in a cool, dark, and dry place in a clean, tight-fitting container.
