Dried mango is so sweet because the natural sugars become concentrated during the drying process.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Naturally Occurring Sugars: Mangoes, like all fruits, contain fructose, a type of sugar.
-
Concentration During Drying: According to provided information, when mangoes are dried, the water content is removed. This process concentrates the naturally occurring fructose, making the dried mango significantly sweeter than fresh mango.
Therefore, the sweetness isn't added; it's a result of concentrating what's already there.
