How To Dehydrate Mangos - One Of The TASTIEST Dried Fruits | Fermented Homestead

[@LeesArkansasBound]

Glad you are enjoying your new dehydrator! So happy for you!

[@FermentedHomestead]

It’s been a lot of fun to play with!

[@youtublet]

@@FermentedHomestead what dehydrator model do you use? And thanks for the helpful video!

[@clarissamiles]

Thanks for the info. We're getting ready to dehydrate some mangoes now.

[@bossdog1480]

Your video has come at the right time. My mango tree is just ripening up and I've got some fallen ones that I'm going to dehydrate this morning.

[@FermentedHomestead]

I’m a little jealous 😂 I’m glad you found a good way to preserve them!!

[@bossdog1480]

@@FermentedHomestead They turned out ok 'cept I over dried them a bit.

[@xtendfleet2946]

They literally taste like candy! My new favorite snack

[@FermentedHomestead]

They really do! So yum!!

[@fallenangelwi25]

I'm so glad you like your dehydrator!!!! Dehydrated mango is amazing 😍!!!

[@FermentedHomestead]

It sure is! One of my favs for sure

[@sarasides96]

I love dried mangos I’m wondering if I could add a little lime on it before putting it in? I love the flavor of those together and would normally put lime on my fresh mango

[@FermentedHomestead]

Oh goodness that would be delish! Let me know how it is if you try it!

[@briand.8271]

You should definitely try lime and tajin, or even basic lime and salt 😁

[@aryanprivilege9651]

I have hundreds, the energy and time would be prohibitive at each fruit. I cannot give away enough. I’ll need to build something, it’s hot outside! The sun can do it, and mangoes aren’t rare, common ones that are for shipping and shelf life aren’t even that good. I know how to freeze dry but that’s worse!

[@judyblaise1639]

I love mango!

[@Agustin-jo8mv]

I love dried mango. I need to get mango trees and make my own. Haha.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Oh gosh, I’d be in heaven if I had my own mango trees!!!!

[@deloresmiller6468]

Watching your videos is costing me a ton. Lol I have made a lot of your stuff and it was super easy and a great success. Thanks .

[@FermentedHomestead]

That is so encouraging to me! I have enjoyed hearing about the things you’re doing so much! 💜💜💜

[@Drawson663]

Great video

[@FermentedHomestead]

Thank you! 😊

[@HandlingItAll]

You had a couple deep orange juicy jokers that were perfect. I just bought some recently looks exactly like that from Mexico. Deep, rich flavor and sugar amount.

[@zinnialady5153]

Thanks for sharing

[@joyful2bhere]

What size silica packet do you use in a quart?

[@mycontainergarden]

Excellent!

[@annmarie3520]

Definitely will try!😊

[@BorbálaBatár]

How do you avoid mold? How long can they be stored if they are prepared with your method?

[@FermentedHomestead]

I make sure they’re very dry before storing them and I add a “dry-dry” pack to them. You can also do what’s called “conditioning” them. Check out Darcy over at “The Purposeful Pantry”, she’s the dehydrating queen

[@kimbles9689]

How long does it last for after being dehydrated ?

[@curedham2963]

sams club has AMAZING champagne mangoes and are extremely sweet when ripe. They come in a 18-22 pack for 10, so the price is great and the quality is really high.

[@jambonsambo]

How long do they keep in the jars ? Thanks for the video!

[@FermentedHomestead]

It depends on a lot of factors. In my opinion...The way to keep them stored the longest is in a cooler dry place away from light sealed in an air right container with an added moisture absorber pack. If you do all of that you’re generally safe to get a few years at least out of them. I hope that helps! 💜

[@keylaalfaro9202]

Where I can buy organic mangos? ,I live in chicago .thanks

[@FermentedHomestead]

🤷🏻‍♀️ probably wherever they sell organic produce? I’ve never been to Chicago

[@bobo7918]

Thank you for this video, need to get me a dehydrator. What one do you recommend?

[@FermentedHomestead]

I have had several presto Dehydrator’s and they work well but dehydrate unevenly, don’t fit quite as much and eventually do break. One of mine melted down and it was quite dangerous if I hadn’t noticed it. Now we have an Excalibur, it costs about as much as 3-4 prestos but it’s a tank, made of medal, dries more evenly, has a timer, can remove shelves and use as a fermentation or proofing box. It depends on your plans, goals and how much you think you’ll use it. I hope that helps

[@Brineytoes]

Mangoes are my favorite fruit, but wowzer are they expensive now! I even buy mango nectar to drink, and it is just decadent. I also have the Titan tools, but I confess I don’t use either the peeler or the julienne cutter because I nearly took off fingers with them. They are wickedly sharp. I’d love to see how you use them without hurting yourself!

[@orisisorisis6946]

Muchas gracias. ¿Me puede recomendar un deshidratador? Estoy muy interesada en comprar uno pero no sé qué características debe tener. Saludos

[@leonacollet4051]

Hello from Australia. I was wondering what Excalibur Dehydrator model do u have? Are there any pros or Cons?

[@FermentedHomestead]

I have the digital 9 tray version. I would suggest going for the non digital one. I find it very annoying because I can’t pause the cycle without resetting the whole cycle. It doesn’t save the settings (which I’m sure can be a good thing for other reasons) so definitely recommend Excalibur but just the manual knob one…and for sure the 9 tray!

[@donnabuck5376]

What is a dry pack that you mentioned in passing? Where do you get them?

[@FermentedHomestead]

I’m sorry for glossing over it! I didn’t even realize I did. A dry dry pack is a small packet filled with silica gel, like the packets that come in electronics or things sold wrapped in plastic. It absorbs moisture and holds it in to keep the container dry. If you search for dry dry packet online you should be able to find them if you’re interested 💜

[@karenelizabeth9496]

@@FermentedHomestead , are those packets chemicals ? Concerned may contaminate what has been dehydrated and stored. I'm dehydrating some in the oven at the moment as a test, first time trying. Our oven has dehydrating setting. Enjoying your channel 😊

[@FermentedHomestead]

@@karenelizabeth9496 they are silica gel packs. They are not something you can eat but I have never had an issue putting the packs in dehydrated food. Its not required but it keeps them shelf stable for much longer. That’s so cool! I hope you love it 💜

[@cheriwarren4524]

you can get the fresh packs online and sometimes at grocery stores with the pickling and jar isle

[@sethushan706]

Whether we take out fully dried or feathery dried?

[@FermentedHomestead]

Personal choice, I like it a bit chewey but it won’t be shelf stable for as long

[@Kimacho]

Thank you for sharing pratical reason why. t i absolutely love mango jerky but so expensive and you get very little especially the organic ones which i prefer. i hate the sweetened ones no need for that plus tales the healthy part of it out im not a organic heqlthy nut but they tatse gross with the added sugar , im thinking of getting the machine for it thnks for inspiration

[@irenedsouza7189]

Can i dry without dehydrated tray?

[@FermentedHomestead]

I’m not sure what you mean

[@gingerhawkinshills]

Sounds yummy! My current addiction is dehydrated pineapple. I am such a fatty I can go through a half gallon jar in a couple of days, LOL. Excalibur is the BEST! Congrats!

[@FermentedHomestead]

Oh yum! Haha! I’m totally the same! I can’t just have a little bit, if I have some I have to eat it all

[@SheriDin]

Haha! Me too. NOT a good idea 😁😛

[@TwoFamilyHomestead]

I've never had a mango !!

[@FermentedHomestead]

Oh then you have to try it!! It’s the tastiest fruit that is easily available 💜

[@reneechelsted]

It’s my favorite fruit ! I think it’s a blend of all fruit taste - peach, banana, pear, ECT !! Yum

[@24manga111]

Can we dry it unter the sun ?

[@FermentedHomestead]

I don’t see why not, I’ve never done it though

[@theta799]

Never did mangoes before (will def try next), but I did bananas - devoured everything in minutes, lol

[@Agustin-jo8mv]

Watching this video again, and those low temp mangos look awesome. I bought some at my grocery store a while back but they haven't had any back in stock after the rona. :(

[@FermentedHomestead]

They sure didn’t last long 😂 and only cuz they’re so tasty

[@faithokafor1205]

Can I grind the dehydrated mango into powder

[@FermentedHomestead]

That’s a great idea! Would be perfect for smoothies or fermented drinks.

[@Agustin-jo8mv]

Does anyone know how much a lb or dried mango weighs? As in how much it weighs before and after? Just curious. haha

[@FermentedHomestead]

Totally made me chuckle on that question. I don’t know the answer specifically but it is significantly lighter

[@Agustin-jo8mv]

@@FermentedHomestead hahaha. Okay, thanks! I was wondering how many pounds of mangos I should buy to yield like 16oz or dried mangos. 😂 I couldn't really find the answer on Google. I guess it's not a question many have wondered. Haha.

[@FermentedHomestead]

@@Agustin-jo8mv oh no, the question made total sense, just the way you worded it made me laugh…how much does a pound of dried mangos weigh 😂 If I had to goal guess I’d start at 10x

[@Agustin-jo8mv]

@@FermentedHomestead hahaha. You know for some reason, I was having trouble forming that question. Haha. How many pounds does it take to yield one pound of friends mangos. Makes sense. I did think of the trick question, "What weighs more a pound of feathers or rocks" when I wrote that. Lol.

[@Syed2]

105 Centigrade or Celsius or Fh?

[@FermentedHomestead]

Fh, I need to remember to include both 😬

[@Syed2]

@@FermentedHomestead If we dry it in Sunlight, which is good available in my Country, then? Is it Good?

@FermentedHomestead So you admit that you was fluffing up the video in order to make it ten minutes?

[@GTSongwriter]

@FermentedHomestead Anyhow. Other than the extra words, the video was informative. Thank you.

[@FermentedHomestead]

No, I just talk a lot normally. In 6 years I have never once had to intentionally fluff up a video, all God given talent here. You should see what I cut out 🤣 glad you enjoyed.
