Vietnamese dried mango: unique taste, nutrition & uses
Vietnamese dried mango is bright, tangy, and naturally tropical. Learn how it’s made, why it stands out, nutrition facts, and ways to enjoy it — from healthy snacks to recipes.
Vietnam is one of the world’s leading mango producers, and its dried mango has become a favourite among snack lovers worldwide. Known for its bright flavour and chewy texture, Vietnamese dried mango combines tropical taste with everyday convenience.
What makes it special?
Vietnamese mangoes grow in warm, sunny climates, especially in southern provinces like Tien Giang and Dong Thap. When dried, they keep their natural tangy-sweet profile, which is less sugary and more vibrant compared to some imported varieties. Many producers also use sun-drying or gentle dehydration, which helps preserve colour, flavour, and nutrients.
Nutrition and calories
Like all dried fruit, dried mango is calorie-dense because the water has been removed. On average, 100 g of dried mango provides around 300 kcal, mostly from natural sugars and carbohydrates. At the same time, it still offers fibre, vitamin A, and antioxidants. Keeping portions to 30–40 g makes it a balanced snack, especially if paired with nuts or yoghurt.
