KAJ’s Mango Slices. Packed in Hawaii, the premium sweet ripe dried mango is from Thailand. These more tender deep orange colored mango slices has a natural sweet fruity mango taste that’s very “tropical.”

The delicious sweet flavor is almost reminiscent of fancy ripe Hawaii pinneapple with those aromatic notes and it’s very mango in flavor with a delicate tartness like in a fine mandarin orange flavor. Sometime, there is a delicous overtone of intricate sour tartness near the outer rind which I loved, but not all packages will have it.

KAJ’s mango slices have just enough of that intricate ripe mango tastes to exhilarate your palate!
