What Is Frozen Mango and How IQF Helps Preserve Real Mango Taste, Color & Nutrition

Frozen Mango is rapidly becoming a global staple — from smoothie chains in the U.S., foodservice companies in Korea, to dessert factories across Japan and the Middle East. As consumer demand rises for convenient, consistent-quality tropical fruit, more buyers are shifting away from seasonal fresh mango toward frozen formats that offer 24-month stability, zero waste, and year-round supply.

Vietnam — especially the Mekong Delta — has emerged as one of the world’s fastest-growing frozen mango hubs thanks to competitive pricing, clean-label processing, and high-Brix varieties like Cat Chu and Kaew. With over 15 years of agricultural export experience, Havigo delivers IQF Frozen Mango, Frozen Mango Chunks, Dice, Cheeks, Stick, and custom-cut products to beverage manufacturers, ice-cream factories, retail private-label brands, and import distributors worldwide.

This guide explains everything you need before sourcing frozen mango: benefits, IQF technology, nutrition & calories, specs, packaging, shelf life, certifications, and what to check when choosing a reliable supplier — plus why global buyers are switching to Vietnam.

1. What Is Frozen Mango?

Frozen mango refers to ripe mango that is peeled, cut, and quick-frozen using IQF technology to preserve color, texture, sweetness, and nutrients. When stored at –18°C, it can retain its peak ripeness and flavor for up to 24 months, making it a dependable fruit ingredient for smoothie chains, food manufacturers, ice cream brands, bubble tea stores, bakeries, and retail frozen fruit packs.

Havigo supplies Vietnam–grown frozen mango for global B2B export with flexible packaging sizes, consistent sweetness, and large-scale monthly capacity — suitable for both bulk supply and private-label/OEM.
