Most of South Africa’s mangoes are grown in the Lowveld which is the subtropical part of the country below the Drakensberg escarpment and along the Kruger National Park in the Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces, Ours are dried in Hoedspruit and Musina. The two cultivars of mango that are best suited for drying are Keitt and Kent. The laborious task of peeling off the skin, removing the flesh from the pip and cutting it into long strips is all done by hand before drying. We think it’s all worth the effort as the final result is fabulously tasty and one of the things we are famous for!
