  • Question
    Do you need a dehydrator or can you just leave them on the counter to dry out?
    Community Answer
    You can't just leave them on the counter. If you don't have a regular dehydrator you can place the peeled mangos on a cookie sheet and keep it in the oven on very low heat, about 165 degrees, at least overnight or until they are completely dried out. Check them often and turn over if needed. Store them in an airtight container or vacuum-sealed bags.
  • Question
    How long will the mangoes last when they're prepared in this manner?
    Community Answer
    Longer than fresh, but still not forever. I do recommend adding sugar before drying.
  • Question
    Could I freeze the dehydrated mangoes?
    Community Answer
    You could, but it would be unnecessary, as the mangoes are already preserved.
  • Question
    Do I have to soak them in lemon juice before I put them in the dehydrator?

    Soaking them in lemon juice prevents browning, but in practice, it makes little difference.
