Premium Mango Dices for Snacks & Cereals

Sun-Ripened Freeze-Dried Mango Dices — Scalable Tropical Inclusions

How do sun-ripened freeze-dried mango dices preserve flavor and reduce freight cost?

Sun-ripened freeze-dried mango dices deliver concentrated mango aroma, vivid golden colour and a crisp, melt-in-mouth texture that creates instant visual and sensory appeal in snacks, cereals, instant desserts and beverage systems. Harvested from tropical plantations and processed by low-temperature freeze-drying, these dices lock in volatile aroma and nutrients while producing a lightweight ingredient that lowers transport cost per fruit-equivalent — a practical advantage for brands scaling seasonal mango SKUs.

FAQ

Q1 — Can I get samples? Who usually pays express freight?
Yes — evaluation samples are typically available; sample material often provided free while express shipping is paid by the buyer and commonly credited against the first bulk order. Typical sample lead time ~7–15 days. 

Q2 — Are you a manufacturer? What factory evidence should I request?
Ask for factory photos/videos of freeze-dry lines, IQF pre-freezing workflow, recent audit reports (BRC/ISO/HACCP), batch COAs and retention-sample policy. The supplier highlights in-house processing and GAP farm sourcing for traceability.

Q3 — Which trade terms do you offer — FOB or CIF — and which should I choose?
Both FOB and CIF options are standard. Use FOB when you want to nominate your forwarder and control freight; use CIF to have the seller arrange freight + insurance. Always compare FOB vs CIF landed cost for your port. Mixed-load consolidation with other FD SKUs is commonly used to optimize freight. 

Q4 — What documentation comes with shipments?
Standard export pack includes COA, microbiology report, packing list and commercial invoice; certification copies (BRC/FDA/organic/Halal/Kosher) can be provided on request to support customs and retailer onboarding. 

Q5 — How is breakage and color loss managed in transit?
Request protective packing (tray inserts, reduced headspace), thicker foil liners, nitrogen flush and UV-blocking cartons for longer routes. Suppliers commonly run packing trials to meet a buyer’s breakage KPI.
