WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH CHILI MANGO?
Chimango, a dried mango snack coated with chili seasoning, is named after an intelligent bird from south America, “a problem solving adventurer” (photo #9).
Consider the chili-mango dried fruit from Chimango as a treat for the food adventurer.
Actually, you don’t have to be adventurous to like them. The pairing delivers a balance and complexity—sweet, tart,spicy—that can be enjoyed by anyone, even younger kids.
A classic Mexican flavor pairing, chili-mango can be found in candies, chocolates, cocktails and liqueurs, condiments (salsa, sauces), hard seltzer and soft drinks, ice cream/sorbet and ice pops, juice drinks and non-alcoholic mocktails, snacks, and dry seasonings for rubs, rims, and sprinkling over everything from fresh fruit to tacos.
Chili-mango is often used as a topping for fresh fruit, as a rub and seasoning (some include lime), to shake on corn, tacos, and other savory dishes.
