Organic Mango Cheeks by Food To Live - 3 Pounds of Delicious Fruit

Paula Abernathy: Sometimes one needs a healthy snack. These dried fruits are one of my favorites and I have bought them many times and enjoyed them every time (in moderation, of course)!

Amy: I had a craving for dried fruit and decided to grab a bag from this brand to try for the first time. The bag I received was nothing like the pictures; the mango cheeks I had gotten looked very dark in colour (almost as if the fruit was rotting and not so fresh when dehydrated) Not only did they look bad, they tasted tough and stale to me. Needless to say this was not the taste and texture I’m accustomed to having in dried mango. I do not recommend it and won’t be buying it again considering it’s poor quality.

al tishal oti: As a lifelong (60 plus years) lover of dried mango, I can attest that this is pretty good quality.

My only beef is that it’s under dehydrated.

One expects a mix of sweet/ripe and not so sweet/unripe fruit in a single bag. I’ve ordered 3 bags so far and I find the mix to be just the same as any other source I ever purchase from.

My only gripe is that it’s less dehydrated than similar products. The result is that less ripe fruit is sour and leathery, and ripe fruit is sticky and gooey. I believe this is the source of those negative reviews that say the product is inedible. When insufficiently dehydrated, less ripened fruit is indeed unpleasantly tough and sour.

I usually dry this product from a further 4 to 6 hours in my own dehydrator. The ripe fruit becomes crystallized and delicious. Less ripe fruit turns crisp instead of leathery and becomes much sweeter, although I don’t understand why exactly.

Other than the dehydration issue, I really enjoy this mango product.

Heidi MacG: The best dried unsweetened Mango

Denis P.: Pricey but fresh mangos are not cheap either . Will buy again.
If they come too hard out of the bag. I heat what I can eat in less than a minute. For me this is 2 pieces for 10 seconds in the microwave. I eat immediately because they will become hard in less than one minute.

Pattyj: My husband and I enjoy these dried mangos so much. They naturally sweetened and the only dehydrated mango I will eat.

JasonS: These are somewhat addictive. They are unsweetened and as such are not as sweet as most dried fruit bought in a store; but far more healthy. Kind of like mango jerky. The taste is somewhat like sweet potatoes. People that complain about the taste are probably accustomed and addicted to sugar.

Mac: Loved these! I have purchased numerous different dried fruits over the years and have had a terrible reaction to the chemicals in them in the past. I was hesitant to buy these but since they were organic i was hopeful. Im glad i did. They were bit more expensive then i would have liked but since they didn't put me in the hospital then id say it was worth the price! Tastes great and very flavourful. Will buy again

Abby S: These are obviously artificially enhanced, smell, flavor and colorwise. And the packaging looks different and cheaper than what I bought last time for the same price. (Are these really USDA certified organic? ) Looks counterfeit. Very disappointed.

Jayanna: I think that the people who leave one star reviews just don't like this food. There's nothing WRONG with it. I LOVE this dried mango and never find anything I like nearly as much in stores. Everything else is too chewy and sweet. They ARE chewy and a bit tough and definitely kind of sour. Delicious!
